From Andy:

Someone mentioned in the comments about a new TRT for Naperville. It has been delivered. The photos and specs are at the link below. It is not in service as of yet.

at ldvusa.com:

City of Naperville (IL) Equipment Vehicle

We recently completed this specialty equipment vehicle for the City of Naperville in Illinois. The vehicle features a Freightliner M2 106 conventional cab chassis and a custom LDV-built aluminum body. We added an auto open/close rear liftgate as well. The body has integrated emergency and scene lighting. A three camera rear view system has also been added to aid parking maneuvers. We prewired the vehicle for communications radios as well. A custom center console was fabricated to house the installed electronics. Six roll up exterior storage compartments were added which feature heavy duty slide out tray shelving for gear. A vertical compartment features storage for customer installed shoring struts and tubing. Six pull out platforms were also added to access the upper storage shelves.

New truck for Addison Fire District

Mar 28

Posted by Admin in Fire Department News, Fire Truck photos, New Delivery | 17 Comments

Excerpts from the Addison Fire Protection District on Facebook:

We are excited to introduce our latest addition – a 107′ aerial from Pierce. Today, Widaman Sign completed the decals, and it looks fantastic. Next, the aerial will undergo upgrades for new radios and emergency lighting before it returns for final training and deployment.

Ladder 72 will be at station 72 in the industrial park and will play a vital role in our operational strategy for the next 10-15 years. Serving as our truck company, it will carry many items including heavy-duty extrication tools. Additionally, it will be ALS equipped and staffed with firefighter/paramedics.

We extend our gratitude to our Board of Trustees for making this purchase possible.
