Red Horse Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Any of you fire buffs catch the news about Acton Mass last week? Aerial caught fire in the station- they managed to get truck out of the house before it became a real big time disaster. Not sure but I think it was a Pierce or E-One. News coverage on tube showed "melted" grille assembly Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/43414-aerial-fire-acton-mass/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

fxfymn Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 http://acton.wickedlocal.com/article/20151230/NEWS/151239564We had a Mack rescue squad catch fire in one of our stations which resulted in the total loss of the station as well as a quint and a couple of ambulances. The crew was extremely fortunate to get out alive. The fire was caused by the main battery cable shorting out against the frame.

bulldogboy Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Acton, MA's ladder is a 2009 Pierce Arrow XT tower. In addition to the ladder they had an engine out of service for repair and last week their 2001 HME/Ferrara engine was involved in a collision with an automobile at an intersection. For now they are borrowing an E-One engine from the Concord, MA Fire Department.. Hopefully, their bad luck has ended for a while. bulldogboy Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/43414-aerial-fire-acton-mass/#findComment-326320 Share on other sites More sharing options...
