A disciplinary report said the lieutenant and his engineer failed to tell their boss when the only fire truck at the station broke down.

The report said it was a leak in the engine, and the lieutenant mentioned it to maintenance, but chose not to stay awake to show them the problem.

Lt. Erik Quarterman and the engineer, Robert Battle, received written reprimands.

Records show that on May 13, Quarterman reported a leak on engine 43, but he went to bed before finding out the status of the truck.

Battle’s disciplinary form shows he too went to bed instead of waiting on maintenance to finish checking out the truck.

Maintenance eventually reported the truck as “out of service” to dispatch.

The truck crossed the median from the northbound to the southbound lanes and rolled a couple times, ending up in the west ditch. The tanker actually separated from the rest of the truck.

The driver of the fire truck, 47-year-old Michael Schultz of Hoyt, was killed. Social media posts described Schultz as a veteran firefighter. A passenger, 36-year-old Randy Smith of Mayetta, was taken to the hospital with injuries.
