They should be getting new equipment instead of a new bills stadium.

City has nothing to do with the bills new stadium since its not in the city

As a retired Volunteer Fire Captain; follow the union's advice! Poor user level management can put lives at risk & endanger the whole community! Don't let the insurance carrier find out a truck with a cracked frame,they won't insure it! Even if it is welded by a certified auto dealer welder! 10 & 15 yr old trucks can be taken out of service & refurbished in less than a year,but make sure it's done by a certified company that can put an extended warranty on equipment that was repaired! Firefighters deserve the best equipment, because their lives depend on it! Commisioners & executive officers that don't put their Firefighters safety & truck performance as a 1st priority should retire!

And you would think this Commisioner would understand Given he was a Battalion Chief

Unions are part of the problem. The are so corrupt. Get on a schedule. But also good preventative maintenance also helps. Granted I’ve only been on the EMS side.

The old trucks really aren't the problem, they obviously aren't maintained. I've been at places with rigs older then my dad, and they always ran like a top. Someone (I think we can all tell who) is letting the most basic of stuff slip through and it's hurting everyone.

@frb5237 Жыл бұрын

Since you made the analogy I will assume older than your dad means quite old. There could be maintenance issues, but a 15 year old truck in a busy city station will be far worse for wear than even an older truck somewhere less busy, regardless of maintenance. Which I would also assume those places you speak of are less busy if they can get by with such old apparatus.

@@frb5237 nah, they just don't run engines on medical calls. Pretty simple idea and having dedicated maintenance personal should be common sense

@andrewzy Жыл бұрын

They Are maintained but alsdo when you get into Accidents that doesbt help either when your running calls Constantly but even thier Slowest Companies Engine is getting towards that 10-15 yr mark. Alot of engines are still from 2011. Ladders are from 08-09 range. Either way they need new rigs

Fire trucks are very expensive and issues happen with any type of emergency vehicle especially with snow.

@@mauricemotors8207 weather although is a factor sometimes the bottom line is the Dept needs an infulx of new rigs. Just depends on how they go about it. Engine 28&35 are both 17-/18 years old thats 7/8 years past front line service they should be Reaerve rigs right now. Ladders cost more yes but if you put in a budget and a rotation of rig buying yearly the fleet can be restored to Frontline Normalcy.

It doesn't help the situation that it appears that many of the rigs were made by American LaFrance who, in its later years, had a reputation for building defective rigs.

Keep salting the roads to rot the trucks... Raise taxes.... Buy more trucks...spread more salt ...rot more trucks. .Florida does not have that problem ...

@wnytrashtrucks Жыл бұрын

florida does not have snow so that argument makes no sense

@gofuckthyself420 Жыл бұрын

Easy to say when you don't have snow for 6/7 months a year. And ice on roads and bridges for damn near 8 months a year.
