I just...why?

It doesn't sound like malicious "tampering", but failures as a result of the previous emergency intervention.

I'm pretty sure the problem had to do with volunteer firefighters wanting to help but not knowing what they were doing. As I understood it, a fireman shut down the power to the brakes because of the fire (I think the night before.) The power had intentionally been left on to power the air brakes.

This was information from last night or this morning, so it's possible something else has come up.

I'm sure the earlier fire had something to do with it.

At least, I hope so.
