Scott Peterson submitted several images of apparatus from the Huntley Fire Protection District. Huntley is not yet on the site.
Unique item on the new Ferrera engine (Engine 944), the Huntley name lights up on the front grill. The other Ferrera units in the area say the brand name. Also, check out the roll-up door for the rear hose bed to provide the now required NFPA containment system for hose. Most manufacturers have been using the cargo style netting.

Prospect Heights had a roll up cover on its 2008 pumper and the cover driver mechanism wore out in less than three years. The vendor would not warranty it but said they would sell the “new and improved” version at a discount. We now sport a red hypalon cover! When it worked, it was great.

The Algonquin/Lake in the Hills Engine 141 and Tower 181 (both Ferreras) say “ALFPD” in the front grill and it also lights up.
