Last I heard this truck was headed down to Greenwood for a "stem to stern" referb so that we have a decent spare for the pool. On Monday March 10 Ladder 28's spare had to be taken OOS for energency repairs, repairs that wouldn't be done until Tuesday morning by Arcand Spring of Allston. Unfortunately, at that point and time EVERY SPARE TRUCK IN THE CITY was in front line service. So from 1800hrs Monday until 1300hrs Tuesday Ladder Company 28 was taken out of service. Two members were detailed across the floor to Engine 48 making them 1 & 5, and the other two were detailed to Ladder 16 & Ladder 25 making them 1 & 4 each! Look on the map and see how far it is from L25 to L28. I just shake my head at the absurdity of it all...........
