BLM Equipment Inspections
The Bureau of Land Management sent Equipment Shop employees to the BFX Fire Apparatus factory in Weatherford, Texas to perform comprehensive vehicle inspections on new fire vehicles. Over the course of three days the equipment shop inspected eight Type-Six Engines and three Command Vehicles. This process is done to find and address any discrepancies between the received product and the specifications established in the contract before the vehicle is put into service.
The Equipment Shop takes on inspection projects many times a year in addition to research and development, modifications and repairs, and other fire vehicle related duties.
