A huge shout out goes to Andy Schroeder and numerous other personnel for taking the time this week to repair Engine 802. The engine's rear rotor pads shattered which ruined the rotor pads and damaged the rotors. Last year the district invested in these high lift jacks in order for us to do as much internal repairs, oil changes, etc instead of sending to area shops for repairs. This is saving a considerable amount of money doing it on our own however wouldn’t be possible without Andy’s guidance. Some days it takes a little bit longer because we’re dealing with fire and medical incidents while we’re trying to work on the vehicles however makes it much easier to do it at the station. Again, thank you for everyone who takes the time to keep our equipment in top shape.
They are either rotors or drums, not both...
I use them at work we use to lift city busses in Rockford I'm retired now
Well Done Andy and Boone County Fire District #2! “Charlie Mike” 💙
What an excellent idea and Andy is an excellent mechanic!!!
With the bitter cold coming, please check on your elderly neighbors, or anyone you think could be at risk. Times like these we need to be good neighbors more than ever.
Please see warming center locations below if needed.
