[quote name='SinCityJake' post='183854' date='Jan 26 2008, 01:07 ']FYI-Waltham's new Engine 4 is at Greenwood, and their only spare engine, Engine 9, former Squad 5 was hit in front of Engine 7's quarters yesterday...said to be quite a bit of damage, their spare ladder is also reportedly OOS[/quote]
We were covering in waltham a couple of weeks ago and they told us that their spare ladder got to close to some power lines which caused an arch through the truck right into the ground (it never touched wires but got with in 10 feet or so). it blew off a compartment door and thank god the guy running the truck was not hurt. i think they said it was gone and not coming back, there was that much damage to it.
