For Volunteers, Do your engineers work on the apparatus?

When I started 30 years ago our engineers did minor maintenance on our engines. Now the guy we have favorite words are, "get it towed to the dealer" I understand things have changed since then but are there engineers that still change the oil and stuff?

In my dept. we had a what they called a "Chief Engineer" basically head of maintenance responsible for vehicles. We did minor repairs anything else went to a repair garage. We didn't have a rank for engineer but we had 3 very qualified for the pumps.
