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...........[/quote]
Yea its a good ride and i was curious why they didnt have say ladder 29 cover them for the night, which might seem like a pain, but like you say if you ever had anything decent down 28s first due and say ladder 16 was on a medical or other call they would have been waiting for a truck...all and all it is crazy
