The Salisbury Fire Department has just pulled Tower 16 Ladder Truck 16 OUT OF SERVICE until further notice!
I cannot tell you what has happened to your new Million Dollar Toy but it's serious enough to pull it out of service.

I saw it on rt 13 in near the police barracks @ 6:20 this morning heading north.
ReplyDeleteIt was just put out of service until further notice. I'm talking like 15 minutes ago.
ReplyDeletejoe,
ReplyDeleteim really pleased that our huge investment is working out so well. the bad boys of metro will look really good walking to a fire carrying a ladder. if it wasnt so expensive it would be funny.

Did somebody scratch the paint?
ReplyDeleteWhich is the bigger boondoogle -- this or the Waste Water Treatment Plant fiasco?
ReplyDeleteHere's what's happening --
ReplyDeleteIt's too heavy for the floor on the new fire house on the swamp, so thay are getting the tires filled with helium at Bubba's suggestion!
BRILLANT
Didnt change that starter oil did ya.
ReplyDeleteYet another scoop. Nice work.
ReplyDeleteOverweight at the scales? No fire extinguisher on board? Improper safety equipment? ROTFLMFAO!
ReplyDeleteDoes that roof-top unit look level to any of you?

ReplyDeleteNow that's funny!!
why do they use the wheel chocks everytime it's parked? I assume that it has an automatic tranny so there's no need to for the "I forgot to set the parking break" precaution. If the ladder was going up then they would have the stablizers out. Just curious
ReplyDeletethey use chocks cause sum dummy driving the rescue truck didnt aplly the air break and it rooled in to the vehicle that they were working on trying to free the person

ReplyDeleteMost larger trucks that have automatics do not have a park selection like cars. They only have neutral selection so the parking brake has to be set in order for it to stay.
Additionally trucks with arial booms that require outriggers most often "chock" the front wheels in case the rear wheels lose contact with the ground. Most emergency brakes only lock the back wheels.

ok, thanks for that explanation!
ReplyDeleteThe driver/engineer should always chock the wheels of whatever piece of equipment he is operating once it is at the scene. It is added security, Do you people have nothing better to bicker about?! What do you all do for a living, let's bash that! Do you always have to flip the burger like that...
ReplyDeleteFlippin' the burgers...rare, medium, or well-done?
ReplyDeleteI think Salisbury's constituents are now not just well-done, but burnt.
The ladder truck is out of service until it can be repaired. IN VEGAS!
ReplyDeleteThe ladeer was taken to a Pierce dealership for warranty work on a door. It will be back by Saturday.
ReplyDeleteits being prepped for fire convention in ocean city
ReplyDeleteThey are probably messing with Joe. There is nothing wrong with the truck. They want to see Joe and everyone else get all worked up about it, and then, they will say What? What are you talking about? There is nothing wrong with the ladder! Etc Etc
ReplyDeleteHow pathetic - for all of us. We are so suspicious of everything they do that we automatically think the worst. Is it possible that EVERYTHING they do is bad? Of course not, yet we are so disgusted with them that we look, and critique every thing they do. So fellas, you have a political problem. This blog demonstrates very well that the SFD has a problem with the public. The public lacks confidence. What good is a fire department, when no one trusts the firemen?
It's having a list of warranty issues taken care of by the dealer. About a dozen little things were found since its arrival that will all be fixed. This is normal with any piece of fire apparatus.
ReplyDeletedoes this mean no more games of peeping tom at the college female dorms
ReplyDeleteBack in service.
ReplyDelete7:06, The SFD was on campus several weeks ago "Training", you aren't suggesting they were there for any other reason, are you?
ReplyDeletePerverts think the college co-eds would give them a second look.
ReplyDelete5:19, you got it. We've been lied to so many friggin times, we don't believe anything any more, even when it's nuthin.
ReplyDeleteRecords, which Pierce dealership?
Give the Fire Dept. a break ! Can't you find some real stuff to complain about without picking on the SFD for every little thing imaginable ?
ReplyDeleteit got clogged up with sh....... er i mean filtered waste water from the treatment plant that was pumped from the river.it got a couple of floaters hung up in the filter.......

Who is picking on the SFD? Just who?
It's not the firemen/women we don't trust, it's their lying, conniving leadership we don't trust. See, Gordy and Hoppes would rather climb a 100 foot pine to tell a lie than stand on the ground and tell the truth. They've been caught so many times you can't believe them.
