Rescue squad issues, Everything listed was written up:
-Front winch OOS and 12V receptacle for portable winch under front bumper is also not working. There seems to be an issue with the 12V wiring at the front bumper as they are wired together. Portable winch still works on other receptacles.
- One of the long hydraulic rams (non battery) is being sent out for severe vibration and noise.
- One of the briefcase style pelican lights is being sent out for not charging
- The flip-down compartment between the duels on the OIC side will not close properly and is out of alignment. Temporary fix in place to prevent ajar alarm from going off.

Noticed increase volume of hydraulic fluid dripping from Driver side outrigger on the truck. The truck was also severely low on hydraulic fluid to the point that if you had the outriggers out any function you did with the aerial you could hear the PTO pump cavitating. put 3 gallons of hydraulic fluid (all we had) and got it to about 90-95% full. Everything is operating normally. Stabilizer extension piston is still leaking. The excess fluid dripping appears to be from a buildup of fluid inside of the outrigger that was starting to leak out. Since cleaning the outriggers we have not noticed dripping. CMF is supposed to be sending a 5 gallon jug of hydraulic fluid. Please continue to monitor and top off hydraulic fluid so we dont cause any further damage to the PTO pump

New Utility Placed In-Service

Good evening-

I am pleased to report that the new utility pick-up has been placed in service. It is a 2025 Chevy Silverado 2500HD. Like the last unit, it does have a plow that will be attached when required. 

The old utillity (Ford F350) has been removed from service and should not be utilized. 

A few updates on the new utility: 
  • Push button start and key fob similar to the Durango. 
  • Hand-held controller for emergency warning devices:
    • Red circle- Press the 3 button for full emergency lighting when the vehicle is in Drive. A slower pattern will show in park. 
    • Green circle- Siren options
    • Yellow circles- For directional usage via the rear of the light bar, press the directional arrow  button (lower button) to scroll through the options. The options will be visible on the controller in the upper circle. 
  • The shore line plug is in the lower part of the rear bumper on the driver's side. Please ensure the unit is plugged in, and the extension cord is plugged into the light pole when not driving. 

Finally, just like the old utility, speed and location are monitored. The vehicle should continue to be signed out via QR code on the book in the front seat for use. 


** The bed will be lined at a later date, please limite scratching it. 





Thanks,

Michael Ryman
