This morning, Truck 49 received one its quarterly maintenance sessions which was conducted by Penn Township “C” Shift (and Hanover FF Waltemyer). Services conducted by staff during this maintenance included: greasing frame lubrication points (suspension, driveline, etc.), aerial grease lubrication points (waterway, joints, etc.), and a full operational and visual inspection of the aerial. Routine maintenance like this extends the life of the vehicle, saves the department service dollars, and reveals potential problems.
