Buffalo Grove put their new Ferrara engine into service just after lunch today and within 3 hours it responded on two medical runs and a car into a building that required extrication.  Reports came in to the police that a car had driven into the Rainbow Cleaners at 482 Half Day Road (at Buffalo Grove Road). When police arrived they reported three injuries including the driver who was unable to get out of the car. Firefighters removed the roof of the Lexus inside the cleaners before pulling out the driver who did not appear to be seriously injured. The other victims signed releases and were not transported.

Buffalo Grove trains with new rigs

The Buffalo Grove Fire Department spent several days training on their new Ferrara Inferno tower ladder and Igniter pumper. The pumper will go into service shortly and the tower will take longer to mount all the equipment and get everyone trained and ‘certified’ to use it.

New Ferrara units arrive in Buffalo Grove

The Buffalo Grove Fire Department received their new engine and tower ladder directly from the FDIC in Indianapolis. The Ferrara units were originally stock trucks that Buffalo Grove was able to purchase before they were built. The engine was built to the same specifications as Buffalo Grove’s 2007 KME Predator engine (218) so that the bodies match identically (or very close). Buffalo Grove does not letter their apparatus with company designations, they only have the fleet unit number as part of the graphics.
