Excerpts from the City of Evanston:
We’re excited to announce that Northwestern University has provided an $800,000 donation to fund the purchase of a new fire engine! The university’s donation will cover the entire cost of a 2022 Pierce Enforcer pumper and the equipment to outfit the vehicle, including hose, tools, a cardiac monitor, self-contained breathing apparatus, and radios. On December 13, the Evanston City Council approved the purchase of the vehicle which is expected to be delivered in late 2022.In 2009, the University donated $550,000 to the city for the purchase of a new pumper which is still in service.
Friday morning the EFD placed in service our new Engine Co. 22 with a traditional wet down and push in ceremony. Fire Chaplin Monte Dillard also blessed our new rig. Our thanks to all who supported the purchase and spec design of this outstanding apparatus that will serve the City of Evanston for decades to come!Engine 22 is a 2020 Pierce Enforcer. 450 hp, Waterous midship 1500-gpm pump with 500-gallon tank.

A preliminary drawing of what our new Engine Co. 22 is going to look like. The final specification is currently being worked on by Pierce and we should have the updated rendering shortly. A few minor modifications to this drawing but nothing major. We are looking to take delivery in October. A great THANK YOU to all of the citizens, city staff and city council for your continued support!
