Incorrect. Ford did not get a bail out, did not declare bankruptcy , did not take a penny of TARP money, returned to profitability over a year before anyone thought they would, rehired laid off workers, re opened shuttered factories and they should be commended for it.
Chrysler on the other hand is owned by the taxpayers and Fiat. GM pulled a stunt by broadcasting a commercial indicating that they had fully repaid their TARP money years ahead of schedule when in reality they used one taxpayer bailout source to pay off another all while breaking up the company into a solvent half which could avoid bankruptcy and an insolvent half where the creditors and taxpayers are still paying for it.

There are several pics out there of this incident including a scrolling slide show on youtube. It wasn't Aliquippa's truck it was New Eagle's. I'm going to speculate that the cause of the failure was due to the use of 4 inch supply hose as the line used to feed the monitor. Certainly not within the scope of capabilities of this apparatus.
EDIT: After further examination (I was originally on my cell phone) my post is incorrect. The failure that I came across happened in 2009 and is unrelated to the Aliquippa failure. The video that Grumpy references below is what I thought had happened in Aliquippa.

Unfortunately I see this having a greater impact on career departments where staffing is relatively cut and dry. The vollies will be able to say that they've got 5 dozen active volunteers that in reality show up 20 minutes after the call is over and get credit and their free job shirt thus meeting the standards.

The question was what constitutes a rescue company, not a rescue truck. Please please please DO NOT confuse a rescue company with a department that has a rescue truck.

Is this rig to be on the street all the time like NYPD ESU trucks or only roll as necessary.

Man on bike that didn't have brakes attempted to pass E62 while it was turning and was killed. 51 year old fire vet not charged. Many witnesses walking, biking, commuting.
May the man on the bike and his family have peace. May the chauffeur of E62 (which is first due to my home) press on in light of this terrible accident. He has been on the job for many years and is a valuable asset to WPFR.

I wish I had the time this evening to get on my soap box about duplication of apparatus in Westchester County and the need for a system that gave departments the ability to specialize in certain services rather than providing every service poorly. I just don't understand why the rest of America gets it and the NYC metro area doesn't.... Let one municipality deliver great rescue services and the next provide great truck company operations... So many places I can go with this. Time doesn't permit
With regard to Rescue Trucks.... Don't mistake a rescue truck for a rescue company...
