• Truck removed from service due to electrical issues with emergency equipment. Issues appear to have been resolved by disconnecting the emergency equipment master switch.

• Update 1/21/2022: The vehicle’s bright headlights do not currently work when the emergency master switch is disconnected. The original vehicle outfitter – FastLane Emergency Vehicles – explained that the fix for this is a simple process that they could either handle or walk a competent mechanic through over the phone. Please bid with this in mind.
