Jesus. Such a simple ask. Police and firefighters who work in that vicinity should absolutely be except.

You would think that but I have to regularly stall a re-gen process and then later take a truck out of service to re-gen for emissions standards. The engine I was driving the other day took 45 minutes to re-gen after it triggered on the way back from a call.

If it is a Ford, that shit is supposed to be turned off on all their emergency vehicles.

And had been for almost a decade now.

Take that shit to the dealer and tell them you want it fixed. Immediately.

There haven’t been Ford fire apparatus since the 1980’s I believe.

Based on looking at their profile; they have a superficial knowledge of EMS.

Edit: after digging further; they don’t have that either, they just consistently talk out of their ass.
