Narrative
Describe in detail what happened including the concern or potential issue, the environment (weather, terrain, fire behavior, etc), and the resulting health issue.
Checked if vehicle was available on google calendar (required to be used) and checked if vehicle book was in its assigned location. Nothing indicated vehicle was out of service. Called FMO, Josh Simmons, and he said it was not safe because it needed new brakes.

If a fire emergency happened were there was not tie to check with FMO before responding, a unsafe vehicle could be driven with unsafe brakes. No way to know vehicle was unsafe to drive by checking in the known locations for information.
Immediate Action Taken
Reporting Individual : please describe actions you took to correct or mitigate the unsafe/unhealthful event.
Will remove keys and place a warning not to used vehicle when returning to the office. FMO told me it was unsafe so he is aware of the unsafe conditions.
