Kevin G. reminds us that the pages for the Downers Grove Fire Department have not been updated to include their new tower ladder. In the meantime, he forwarded this link to the dealer listing of the delivery with photos, specs, and drawings.
Downers Grove Tower 2 is a 2011 Smeal Sirius Medium 4 door with a Waterous 2,000-GPM pump, with 300 gallons of water, 20 gallons of foam, and a heavy duty Smeal 100? rear mount platform. Bill Friedrich photo
