Bill Friedrich informs us that the Palatine Fire Department has placed an order with Crimson for a new engine. The engine will be built on a Spartan chassis with a Gladiator cab. It will have a 1,500-GPM pump with a 500-gallon water tank and is expected in October of this year.
Palatine currently runs one Crimson engine, a 2007 Spartan Diamond with a 750-gallon water tank out of Station 84.
