I am excited to announce that yesterday the Chicago Fire Department delivered a brand new fire engine to Engine Company 11 house on Cumberland. This brand new state of the art rig will give our firefighters a more modern approach towards fire suppression on the Northwest side of Chicago.

This #Enforcer #Pumper holds 500-gallons of water with a 1,500 gpm Darley pump. The rig is going to be used every day by students so the design of the apparatus was kept simple. Features include a compartment in the back for hard suction hoses and stainless-steel scuff plates.
