Bridgeview Fire Department news … New Home For Montgomery Engine

Sep 8

Posted by Admin in Fire Department News, Fire Truck photos | 15 Comments

This from Keith Grzadziel:

“The Bridgeview Fire Department recently purchased this very lightly used engine from the Montgomery and Countryside Fire Protection District. It is a 1989 Federal Cyclone E-One with a Detroit Diesel 8v92 and has a 150-GPM Hale pump and 750-gallon tank. In about a month or so, after getting re-lettered, renumbered and outfitted, it should be up and running as a dependable reserve engine for our department. This will replace our worn out 1993 Pierce reserve.”

This custom unit features a Ford F450 chassis with a liquid spring suspension system, all Whelen LED emergency, scene and interior dome lighting, custom cabinetry designed specifically for the Bridgeview Fire Department, custom gear compartment, power windows and door locks. The exterior showcases a custom “Coolbar” HVAC system, and OptiCom System.

New ambulance for Bridgeview FD

Mar 28

Posted by Admin in Ambulance photos, Fire Department News, New Delivery | 8 Comments

This from Keith Grzadziel:

The Bridgeview Fire Department is expecting delivery of a brand new Wheeled Coach conversion. It is mounted on a 2019 Ford F-450 chassis with the liquid suspension. This will be the 3rd Wheeled Coach in our fleet. Hopefully we should have it by early next week at the very latest. 

The current Ambulance 406 will be renumbered to 412 and designated as a ready reserve.  Our spare, Ambulance 426, is decommissioned and will be given to our EMA. The current reserve, Ambulance 409, which was purchased used from the Homer FPD, will become our spare.
