Did they salvage equipment before it burned? Shortages, you know.

Electrical trouble.

When someone tells me "electrical trouble" I'm thinking like the switches won't work or alternator.

That to me is more along the lines of "electrical failure" or "holy ______ my ambulance is on fire"

FDNY EMS is a hot job. Just have to make sure you don't get burned out.

They run so much in such poor conditions, even the rigs get burnt out.

How many rigs does FDNY run daily? Even if they are all kept in perfect shape, odds are this will happen every so often.

I wouldnt get within 100' of a burning ambulance unless I personally had just removed all of the O2 tanks.
