Motorists who travel Chicago Road between Van Dyke Avenue and Mound Road are familiar with the washboard-like feel of the pavement and the rough ride over the railroad tracks.
Now, Warren Fire Commissioner Skip McAdams is blaming road and rail conditions for damage incurred by a department fire truck recently.
Fire station four is located at 6361 Chicago Road across from the General Motors Technical Center.

According to McAdams, a shock tower and steering control were damaged last week. He believes a previous break to one of the shock towers in June was caused by the exceptionally rough railroad tracks and the recent damages to the other shock tower and steering control may have been incurred at that time also, but were undetected.
