Description
Fire Chief Jon Hannan has ordered all trucks with more than 10,000 engine hours have their front spring hanger bolts inspected today.
A
This
accident
occurred
with
12,000
115
engine
hours
on
the
truck.
While
you
may
track
your
car
and
miles
that
doesn't
work
well
for
fire
trucks.
They
don't
accrue
many
miles
compared
to
the
hours
they're
in
service
and
we
use
engine
hours.
This
failure
occurred
at
12,000
115
hours,
so
I've
ordered
every
fire
engine
with
over
10,000
engine
hours
on
it
into
the
shop
today
to
have
all
these
bolts
visually
inspected
and
the
torque
checked
on
the
boat.
