Station 2 inspection

Notes from the Station 2 inspection:  Prior to inspection Avery reported that the bay door would not go down.  Unknown reason.  It is suspected that it may have been up all night.  Everyone needs to make sure that doors go down properly.  Weeds:  Zach has been assigned to spray weeds on his next duty day with decent weather.  Interior and overall tidiness were in good shape.  2523:  The auto eject, air hose, and now broken swing arm remain broken from May 13^th.  Lieutenant Corbit blogged about this.  It is in the hands of the mechanics shops, and Yuill/Virgillo.  We will need to provide additional follow up.  I am told that 2523 had low air yesterday and vehicle movement was delayed.  I am told that the auto eject needs to be replaced rather than trusted.  I will CC Ken on this.  Old ladder from the mini pumper:  While cutting down the broken air hose we tried to use the old narrow ladder from the mini-pumper for utility purposes.  It was not moving freely and one on my interns pinched the skin on his hand while fumbling with it.  The little voice in my head is screaming that this ladder is just plain dangerous.  I am removing it as a safety hazard.  I will ask for funding to buy a new fiberglass ladder for utility work at that station.  Any suggestions on size and type?  Thank you.
