No appropriate code exists for when an emergency vehicle arrives at its destination not under its own power.

Such was the case Wednesday as Scott DeChambeau of South Tahoe Towing brought a South Lake Tahoe firetruck to the city’s maintenance yard on D Street.

Phil Harwood, a city mechanic, said the turbo will have to be pulled and things cleaned out.

“This happens with aging vehicles. It’s just wear,” Harwood said. He expects the truck to be offline for a couple days.
