It is <br />a versatile first -out unit to handle both rescue and fire suppression operations. A major component, <br />the hydraulic swivel, is in need of replacement; and, <br />WHEREAS, both the fire truck manufacturer and Emergency Apparatus Maintenance, Inc. (EAM) <br />have recommended this component be replaced at years 10 -15 of operation. This truck was new in <br />1997 and is now 16 -years old.

While we have this in the shop for <br />repairs, we are also recommending the outrigger cylinders be repaired. The outriggers are drifting out <br />of range when the unit is parked.

We are recommending these repairs be completed by EAM.
