From Horizon Fire Apparatus Chicagoland on Facebook:
Yesterday Inverness Fire Protection District wrapped up a pre-construction meeting on their new HME Ahrens-Fox pumper and tender. They were able to take in all the awesome ideas we found at the factory and put them to good use. We have ways to go until they’re finished, but when these siblings roll out, they’re going to the baddest pair in the Chicagoland area!
