NEW DELIVERYThe DeKalb Illinois Fire Department Department in DeKalb, Illinois recently took delivery of their first of TWO new Rosenbauer Group twin engines! This is the FIRST for the DeKalb FD fleet! Thank you Chief Mike Thomas, the firefighters of DeKalb FD, and the City of DeKalb for choosing Sentinel Emergency Solutions and Rosenbauer!Engine Features Include:
- Rosenbauer EXT Crossfire aluminum body with Lifetime Transferrable Warranty
- Rosenbauer Commander Chassis

This is one of two they have on order. Second one is due in around November. Both were demo rigs that were being built and bought by Dekalb for a quicker delivery.

They certainly didn’t skimp on the forward facing emergency lights wow

With the price of new engines approaching a million dollars each new, (see Niles above) it nice to see a local government being prudent and getting two demos to solve their equipment issues. I’m sure the crews will be happy to see the rigs when they are in service.

Crabby, the 3 light spinner is the Roto-Ray.

I concur with the sharp comments. Yeah a MARS would be nice in that. What is the name of that 3 bulb light that spins? Just curious.

Only finishing touch would be a nice mars light……

Sharp no nonsense engines. I am guessing they will go to Engines 1 and 2. Nice to see another Rosenbauer in Northern Illinois.

Congratulations to our neighbors, response partners and great friends! This is a much needed and overdue addition to the DFD fleet! The DFD is a busy, talented department that is finally getting much needed financial support and increased staffing,
