Earlier in the shift we were going out on the Air and Engine (E715B) did not immediately shift into gear. It hesitated for about a minute, and after going through a sequence of steps (putting it in reverse and drive, engaging and disengaging brake) it finally went into drive. The issue seemed to have resolved itself through out the shift since we went on several calls with out any incident or hint of it having any issues again.
This morning we were dispatched on a call at 0430 and it happened again. We went through the same steps and it finally shifted into gear with in the minute. After the call MFF Owens tilted the cab to see if there was anything obvious and nothing was found, or stood out. He has written it up and obviously it is something that needs to be assessed. E715 (Crimson) was dropped off yesterday for brake issues so It was not readily available for us to switch into. At this time, E715B (Pierce) is still in service as it seems to be engaging normally. My recommendation is for it to be addressed first thing this morning.

Good Morning Sir. It was brought to my attention late tonight that we are out of diesel exhaust fluid and that we are waiting on a delivery that was placed at the beginning of the month.
How do we rectify this issue before the holiday weekend?
