Truck 537 for the Lisle Woodridge FPD will replace a 2004 tower ladder. Pierce photo from Flickr
The Lisle-Woodridge Fire Protection District in MABAS Division 16 has taken delivery of a 2011 Pierce Arrow XT 100′ rear mount tower ladder. Truck 537, which will be assigned to Station 3, is not yet in service. The new truck has a 2,000-GPM pump and carries 300 gallons of water.
Unlike the new tower ladder, the current unit assigned to Truck 537 carries no water and does not have a pump.
Thanks to Josh Boyajian for spotting the new delivery photo on the Pierce Flickr site.

The new Pierce looks very nice! I still remember the E-One truck 537 that they had before they got the 2004 rig as well.

there was nothing wrong with our tower, and it does not have all wheel steering. The lease was just about to end on the rig.

Their previous tower had all-wheel steering and they had some major problems with it

Any reason why they replaced the 2004 rig? They’ve only had it for 7 years. Or was that the life expectancy of it?
