Fifty Two
Inspectors have found fifty two problems with Lincoln’s new fire trucks. Some of the problems are less serious than others. Hang on to your butts, the roller coaster continues.
I wonder: why isn’t it standard procedure for the actual instructions to the manufacturer to be sent to the City for verification? Seems like that could have headed off this problem. If Lincoln said to EDM, “Build it this way,” but Lincoln found out immediately that EDM told the manufacturer “Build it some other way”, alarms would have gone off. And if they didn’t, well, the City should have been paying better attention. Or is that how things work and the process failed in this case?
