Long Grove FPD news

This from Shaun Unell:

We are near the end of the work on our KME tanker being refurbished by Alexis Fire Equipment.

  • We added on a pre-connected Class A foam system.
  • Converted the officers side upper compartments to hinge upward instead of down for better access.
  • Switched to our new paint scheme of black over ted and new black striping.
  • Updated all warning lighting to LED.
  • Installed a new Zico ladder rack which has an extended travel distance.
  • Installed a new pump heat shield and replaced some damaged parts like a cab step.
  • Completed mechanical repairs and suspension repairs.
  • We are having hose troughs installed on both sides of the pump panel and a few final repairs are being completed.

We hope to take delivery of the rig in the next several weeks.  Final graphics will be completed at our station.
