New tower ladder for Arlington Heights (more)

This from Larry Shapiro:

I stopped by Arlington Heights and grabbed some photos of the new Tower 1. It is not yet in service. This is a 2014 Pierce Dash CF PUC 1500/300 with job #27342. It is reportedly the first Dash CF PUC tower ladder … with Niles running a close second.

  Wichita, Kansas purchased a Dash CF PUC tower ladder last year, with a build date of 7/2013, I think they were actually the first CF PUC TL. AHFD is probably the first one in Illinois
