Oak Park buys new tower ladder (more)

This from Dan McInerney:

Here are some pictures of the progress on our 95′ platform.

Notice the notch in the cab to reduce the overall travel height

  Mike Mc this will be a 100% Oak Park apparatus. The current agreement with OP/RF will terminate when the current rig is sold.

  Do you know if it will be stencilled Oak Park-River Forest like the current tower ladder or will it just say Oak Park?

  Let’s please move on regarding the accident. Every department has their share of accidents. Some departments have literally flipped aerial ladders over while training on them. Let’s just be glad no one was injured.

  I know that the ladder on this E-One is laid lower into the cab. Hopefully it will clear underpasses unlike River Forests truck.
