Dennis McGuire, Jr found two area rigs in production at Ferrara which can be seen HERE.
He tells us that one of them is for the Calumet Park FD in MABAS 22. They’re buying a 100′ tower ladder on an HME chassis (a first for them) which will replace a ladder truck and a engine. Both are already gone as trade-ins.

The second is a pumper for the Huntley FD which is in both MABAS 2 & 5. They’ve ordered a top-mount pumper on a Ferrara Ember chassis with a 1,500-GPM pump and 750 gallons of water.
