ENGINE 60 BREAKS DOWN ENROUTE - 12/11/05
E60's response to a reported structure fire at 1815 hours on 12/11/05 was very short.
The ball joint on the left front axle of the 1999 Pierce failed in the intersection of Chandler Bl. and Tujunga Av., just moments after the Task Force was dispatched from quarters.
Engineer Tim Togneri expertly guided the crippled apparatus to a safe stop just south of the Tujunga Av./Orange Line Busway intersection. There were no injuries.
The combined teamwork of Heavy Rescue 56 and Tractor Company 88 removed Engine 60 from the roadway.
