"Should we keep it? Frankly, that's not a very attractive option," Mayor Dave Enslow told the Tacoma (Wash.) News Tribune. Advertisement The pumper, which fire officials say has electrical and engine problems, is in the shop for the third time since it arrived in the city of 8,500 -- with much fanfare -- in June. City officials didn't see the writing on the wall: One of the times the truck broke down was when it was bring driven to Sumner on its maiden trip from the manufacturer in Charleston, S.C. It broke down two other times within 60 miles southwest of Sumner. It has not gone out on a fire call yet. An outside evaluator will examine the city's contract with the fire truck's manufacturer, American LaFrance, which has built fire and rescue apparatus since 1832. American LaFrance had no comment, the newspaper said.
