2523 went back to the shops yesterday to have the foam system looked at. They found an airlock which was preventing the foam system to operate properly. B shift, D/E Rummell witnessed the apparatus flowing foam correctly after the repair as well as learned how to correct the issue should it recur. D/E Rummell should be sharing that information with other members shortly.
2523 is back in service.

Subject: RE: WORK ON 2523 FOAM SYSTEM
Hello Ken,
Today C-shift ran the pump on 2523 and tried to operate the foam system. We could not get the foam system to operate, we depressed the on which turned on the foam pump motor for a brief 30-45 seconds then the system would shut down. We generated no foam from the system. Brett spoke with you this afternoon in which you have requested 2523 to be at the shops at 08:00 on 9-12-12. Thanks Aaron Bielemeier
