2561 had a meltdown yesterday….literally.
While returning from the MCI drill, Lt. Johnson and AA Constantine discovered the cab filling with smoke. Further investigation showed that the control box for the emergency lighting system had shorted out. The pickup was taken to shops where the control box was replaced.
Upon returning 2561 to the station, Lt. Johnson turned on the lights to give them one more check, and the cab promptly filled with smoke. The new replacement control box also shorted out and suffered a meltdown.
2561 was returned to shops where it is now being reevaluated.
Lt. Gascoigne
