Is this a warrantee problem, OR SHOULD WE JUST GO OUT AND BUY A BRAND NEW ONE CHIEF?

Warranty. That is the reserve engine she leaked a whole lot of oil on the new floor yesteday. Where do the floor drains lead to should be the next question.
New budget year. Plenty of money to tow vehicles and fix equipment. Doesnt the city have a garage and mechanics on Mack St. Why doesnt the city mechanics work on city equipment? Baltimore city mechanics work on Baltimore city fire equipment. That could be a good way to save taxpayer money and pay our employees better wages. If we are jobbing out mechanic work why do we need city mechanics?
Why was it leaking oil? Don't those people pre/post trip their equipment? If they were doing their reports they would have known it had a leak when it started, not after it drains in large puddles. Where do you think that water drains? THE WICOMICO RIVER, you don't think they bothered to put in catch basins when they spent that $10million do you?
This is nothing less than piss poor supervision and shows a complete lack of responsibility on the part of the leadership. What the hell Gordo Corleone can just strong arm the vollies and buy another new truck.
HAHAHA That is funny. HIlarious. Good one Joe

Last I checked. No body offers a 19 year warranty on trucks.. That fire truck is a 1989... BTW thats not the truck that has the leak issue... Its the 2006's that leak
Last I checked fire trucks use to have a 30 year service life. The warranty should not be an issue.
City mechanics change oil.Police cars are repaired all over town.I wouldn't want city garage rebuilding trannys on police cars.
I'm so sick of hearing you crybabies whine about how old your garage kept equipment is. Big deal its a 1989. If it were maintained it would last another 20years. You all don't take care of it because you don't have to pay for it.
I drove a 1969 MACK DM model dump truck, it had over a million miles on it and as far as I know it's still out there working. J. Roland Dashiell was the original owner and let me tell you those fellas over there worked their equipment hard, everyday. In 1992 it was still going strong when we were out on Rt 13 milling and black topping the highway.
Unlike these fully loaded fire trucks it had no bells and definitely no whistles but it worked every single day. It worked because it was maintained, not beat to death.
There is another man in town with a Freightliner classic tractor, also has over a million miles and pulls loads of chickens up and down the east coast all week long. Whats the problem over there at the fire departments? Quit dogging the equipment and do some maintenance, you might actually get some life out of these taxpayer purchases.
I think they can do some recycling and use parts off what is left of the one at the old training center to fix this one. If there isnt enough left at the training center they can use what bit was put in the new "training" center for a driving simulator.

That is correct and these morons are replacing several fire trucks less than 5 years old. Why is that?
show me on station in the county. That is using 30 year old equipment as front line pieces
