Let those companies keep the 98s and 99. Burn these E Ones and we’ll run to each call. Garbage across the board. Helen Keller designed the cab, and Sloth drew up the bed and the back step…. guess none of that matters cuz they’re down 80% of the time.
Clowns ordering these rigs.

Yeah that commenter is 0 for 1 so far dealer has 1 lettered up for E 39 now in st john indiana

Just checking if there is any updates on the assignments for the 3 Engines? From the original post of E42, 44, 78 thank you

i question that they are already lettered to cause unless something has changed they shouldn’t be in Gary for any reason unless it was passing through to go to fleets garage… the vendors located 20 miles south of Gary in St. John, IN

John Antkowski, I have no idea what the CFD’s plans are for the three-stage pumpers or if they plan to order more of them from E/One.
#6 by John Antkowski on August 16, 2019 - 10:38 AM
Thanks Bill Post. Is the city going away from the three stage pumpers or just going to re-locate them? Does Chicago plan on replacing them in the current contract with e-one?
#7 by Bill Post on August 16, 2019 - 9:49 AM
John Antkowski you are correct. There are older front line rigs than the ones being replaced by the three new E/Ones. They are the short wheelbase HME/Luvernes at Engines 11, 39, and 74. Engines 11 and 74 are 1998 models and Engine 39 is a 1999.
There is a good chance that these three companies could receive hand-me-down rigs, however there is a problem with replacing Engine 42’s rig.
Engine 42 is one of four, three-stage, high-pressure pumpers. These were designed to be used in the third stage for high-rise fires when the building’s pumps are not working or not producing adequate pressure. They are able to kick up the pressure for fires on the upper floors. Unless the new E-One rig going to Engine 42 has a three-stage pump, then Engine 42 will no longer be a high-rise pumper. The other three high-rise engines with three-stage pumps are Engines 98, 5, and Engine 60. Engine 42’s current rig is a 2005, Engine 98 is a 2006, Engine 5 has a 2009, and Engine 60 has a 2011.
The New York City Fire Department has been using triple-stage high-pressure pumps on some of their engine companies since at least 1983, however they now have only eight out of 197 total engines. Houston Texas was using two engines with triple-stage pumps. Engines with triple-stage pumps have special hose that can withstand pressures of 600 psi and because of those pressures they have to follow certain safety protocols. They really don’t use them in the 3rd stage mode very often as most buildings have built-in pumps to boost the pressure on the upper floors.

Interesting that the city had E-One remove the progress photos on the website. Because there are so many secrets they don’t want disclosed?
There were quite a few years that went by that the city had every apparatus builder keep any manufacturer logos and emblems off the rigs. What was the rational behind that?
#9 by John Antkowski on August 16, 2019 - 7:52 AM
How did fleet come up with those companies? I believe that they still have some HME’s still in service. I don’t know what companies, but wasn’t it the oldest go first? John

Nice looking engine! Glad that they are done! The city needs them!
#11 by Aidan Hughes on August 16, 2019 - 4:41 AM
Have the new trucks been ordered
#12 by El Roberto on August 16, 2019 - 3:25 AM
Engine 11 is supposed to get 1 of those rigs
#13 by Bill Post on August 16, 2019 - 1:31 AM
Thanks for the information Danny. I would have hoped that the city would let them keep the construction photos on the E-One website as I was hoping the the city would be more transparent under the new administration. Maybe the city will eventually allow construction photos back on the website. I that could be wishful thinking but who knows?
#14 by Danny on August 15, 2019 - 8:55 PM
It was pulled down at the city’s request… chicago being chicago.
#15 by John Antkowski on August 15, 2019 - 7:55 PM
Thanks Rich S. And Harry. I can’t wait to see the new Aerial Tower and the new Trucks. Does anyone know why Chicago pulled out of the e-processes website? Politics? Two many to follow? I loved watching the new rigs being built. I’m glad somebody spoke up. I had thought that I lost the connection. John
#16 by harry on August 15, 2019 - 7:37 PM
well regardless at least Chicago is finally replacing rigs that are very old
#17 by rich s. on August 15, 2019 - 7:01 PM
I would imagine they will be very close to the same as Evergreen Parks truck
#18 by rich s. on August 15, 2019 - 6:54 PM
John,
The trucks will be on a Cyclone II chasis same as the towers and engines. 2FM (fleet) will not go with a single axel rig because they believe it will not hold the weight of the equipment we carry. They also state that there is not enough braking in a single axel rig. So they will be a double axel , even though we have several single axel spares out there that have absolutely no problems with weight or braking these fit on the streets and in the houses much better but we don’t really have any input in the specs
#19 by John Antkowski on August 15, 2019 - 5:55 PM
What chassis will the Trucks be? And will they be single or tandem axles? John
#20 by rich s. on August 15, 2019 - 3:23 PM
The engines will continue to come, also 13 new trucks and a tower ladder in addition to the aerial tower. Heard by the end of the year but I doubt that.
#21 by John Antkowski on August 15, 2019 - 8:17 AM
Cool, Thanks Martin! John Antkowski
#22 by Martin on August 15, 2019 - 8:14 AM
That new truck should be coming within the next 2 months.
#23 by John Antkowski on August 14, 2019 - 3:38 PM
That’s what happened? It was the city that stopped the rig building updates. My other question is? Did the Aerial Tower ever get built? Thanks. John Antkowski.
#24 by DOUBE E on August 14, 2019 - 1:22 PM
Already numbered down in Gary Indiana…42, 44, 78
#25 by Mike C on August 14, 2019 - 1:04 PM
Is the rear compartment door bare stainless steel? Eager to see how Chicago labels it.
Are those Fed Sig turn/brake/back-up light heads? CFD was using Weldon for a long time but these don’t look the same.
I like the 2-stage pump and BIG block X12!!!
#26 by harry on August 14, 2019 - 12:56 PM
I wonder who will get these
#27 by Marty Coyne on August 14, 2019 - 12:09 PM
The cabs are 10″ longer than the prior E-One’s due to the current one’s being very cramped in the back. The cut out for the hand pump is new and uses that space. It is on both sides although CFD Engine Co’s only carry one.
#28 by DENNIS on August 14, 2019 - 9:15 AM
Nice to see some kind of update since the city stopped letting E-One post build update photos. The cut out for the hand can is new.
