Boston Fire Officials said they are preparing to sue the manufacturer of a diesel engine now in more than a dozen problem-plagued city fire trucks in order to thwart future disasters

 

 

“They make up about 35 percent of our fleet and they’re taking up about 80 percent of our service and maintenance time,” he said.

 

 

The 14 pieces of equipment with problematic Navistar engines, Finn said, have even left parts of the city exposed to fires without coverage from the department’s “invaluable” ladder trucks.
