New squad for Des Plaines (more)

From The Pierce Manufacturing YouTube channel:

Walk around this Enforcer pumper with Des Plaines Fire Department Lieutenant Minas Klikas. The apparatus is equipped with #TAK4 Independent Front Suspension to help with tight corners and was designed to have a longer wheelbase which measures 234 inches. The grab rails are recessed for driver’s safety when grabbing. The truck implemented a squad-based type cab which utilizes space for dive, hazmat, fire suppression, and ALS equipment. The #PUCPump was chosen because it increases compartment space. The coffin compartments on top of the apparatus will be used for larger items that are not used often.
