From the Stickney Fire Department:
“Last evening the villagebvoard unanimously approved the purchase of a new Pierce Ascendent quint. This apparatus will replace the 25-year-old quint taken out of service at this time last year. This piece of equipment will last 20-25 years.”The 107’ single-axle Ascendant quint will have an Enforcer cab & chassis with a 1500-GPM PUC pump. 12-24 months for delivery.
Stickney’s previous truck, the 1997 Spartan/3D/LTI was sold to a private collector out of Missouri.
thanks Josh

Why is Lake Villa selling their Ascendant already? It’s only 4 years old!!!
And what is wrong with Algonquin’s quint? It is also not that old.

They could have also bought a newer used one. Lake Villa and Algonquin are selling theirs. Lake villa’s is a 2019 and Algonquin is a 2015
