Unit 7 is a 2009 Chevrolet Tahoe, VIN 1GNEC03099R205471 with 85,085 miles assigned to the District 1 Fire Chief. The unit was brought in for service on March 24 with a complaint of the check engine light on and low oil pressure. Norman Frede Chevrolet diagnosed the vehicle with an engine failure for a repair cost of $7,673.
