In addition, odi met with pierce and the fleet operations manager of the montgomery county fire and rescue service?S central fleet to discuss the known complaints, possible attributing factors and vehicles to be tested/instrumented.On november 30, 2018 pierce met with odi staff at dot headquarters and agreed that a safety defect existed on their vehicle aerial devices. The subject vehicles may unintentionally rotate right when a command to extend the aerial ladder is given.
