It was an afternoon in late February, and a fire engine at the Gila Bend Fire Station wouldn’t start.Paramedic Cody Jordan and another worker were inside the garage bay, trying to get the battery number from inside the engine compartment so the battery could be replaced. They used a hydraulic system to lift the cab high enough to access the engine compartment.That’s when something went wrong.
ADOSH fined the Gila Bend Fire Department $17,131 and cited the department for worker-safety violations, including:Failure to have procedures in place to ensure the fire engine was safe to service and maintain.Failure to report an accident requiring hospitalization within 24 hours to ADOSH, which is required by law.'I'd like to say that I really feel bad for the family and for everyone that has suffered from this,” said Maria Cecelia Valdez, a member of the Industrial Commission.
