Advised by CMF that Truck 715 was ready for pick up. Drove to CMF to begin the switch over. After nearly completeing the switch over we attempted to raise the ladder on Truck for the last of the equipment. Came to find out that it would not go up. Mechanics investigated the problem and came to the conclusion that it was a faulty coil (electrical issue not a hydraulic issue). We then were instructed to hold tight to see if they could locate the part. After an hour or so of no luck was advised the part will have to be ordered. Switched equipment back Tiller truck. No time frame given on when that will arrive.
