Another Ford Ambulance Burns

Comments

A GRAND LEDGE (Michigan) FIRE DEPT. AMBULANCE CAUGHT ON FIRE Thursday night while transporting a patient to a hospital in Lansing.  Smoke started coming into the driver’s compartment while in Lansing and the driver pulled over.  The two medics evacuated the patient safely while waiting for the Lansing FD to respond to the incident.

The ambulance is one of just two operated by the GLFD.  “These engines have been problematic since we bought these,” said Fire Chief Casey Godlewski. “It’s kind of hit or miss. One day it may run, next day it may not.”

    Hmm,.......We use the same engine in over 100 units. I havn`t heard of an engine fire in our cars. I`m curious as to the PM program in place there. I have a friend on that department and he has complained about the engines at times. Maybe a PM issue? Maybe just a lemon or junk engine?
