Posted 10 months ago Does anyone do all or some of the maintenance on thier fire vehicles, ambulances, and fire apparatus? |
|
| Posted 10 months ago we do it as a departmant in the spring |
|
| Posted 10 months ago We do some, but the quarterlies, bi-annuals, and annuals are done by our dealer/maintenance service. Our two mainline trucks are still about 3 years old, so they get done. The older trucks we do, or have it done, depending on what it is. Jeff Draper

| Posted 10 months ago My volunteer Chief is a Diesel Mechanic by trade and generally does all of the trucks. He saves the town tons of money. Do you think the town returns the favor.... I think not! |
|
| Posted 10 months ago Our chief owns his own auto repair shop and does all the maintenance on our trucks as well. However, he quit doing the "charity" work on them about a year ago and started sending the city a bill after each time. They have learned to appreciate him, and us, a little more - but not much.

| Posted 3 months ago As a driver you should know what is wrong while driveing and should be paying attention to the vehical as you go .always do you pretrip (anytime ) and a post trip , especialy when you get back from a call.You never know what could be damaged !! just walk a round the truck looking , thats all . I do all the time ,even my pov. If you check your porta pumps ,check the oil too, just do the whole unit and then its done . it only takes about 20 mins. a week. |
