This from the RRP:
In December of 2011, the Remembrance Rescue Project acquired the last of the Rescue trucks from 9/11, Rescue 5. Rescue 5 was brought to the Project’s Chicago facility and is undergoing its restoration, where it will debut with the Project at FDIC in Indy this month.
The Rescue was recently repainted by Capital Truck Body in Cicero and is currently at MPC Lighting in Northbrook for lights. Jacquette Custom Lettering is working on all of the striping and hand painting the original Rescue artwork.
The Rescue is being restored as close to original as possible.
