City Hall mechanics repair fire trucks which have been left unused in a warehouse compound for 10 years. Pol Gen Assawin inspected the repairs with a group of BMA executives at City Hall's mechanics division in Bangkok's Din Daeng district. The 72 trucks are among 176 unused vehicles that were embroiled in controversy after their purchase. The 176 vehicles are among a total of 315 purchased from Austrian supplier, Steyr-Daimler-Puch Spezialfahrzeug AG. This first batch of 176 trucks, imported in 2006, have been kept at a warehouse belonging to Thepayont Aeromotive Industries Co in Nonthaburi's Bang Bua Thong district.
