As we do our jobs, we all encounter "Bonehead" repairs, or complete fumbles in wiring repairs that we find and have to correct. Email us your "Bonehead" repair find, along with a brief description, and we can post it for all to enjoy a good laugh! (No repair source company names will be disclosed or posted! ) This is meant for entertainment, not to embarrass a company or anyone.
Mechanic A says that certain tasks are generic to all motor vehicles and can be performed by persons considered qualified by the authority having jurisdiction. Mechanic B says that an emergency response vehicle is a complex piece of machinery and there are many components that are highly integrated. Because of this complexity, NFPA requires that a person qualified as an emergency vehicle technician possesses minimum skills and knowledge to inspect, diagnose, identify correct replacement parts or repair procedures, and perform repairs.
