This from Bill Friedrich:

On 9-11-2012, Homer Township FPD Chief Bob Tutko and the members of Black Shift had a ceremony to place Engine 32 in service.  At 1440 hrs, Wescom Dispatch cracked the speakers and officially placed the new engine in service. Pete Lomardi from Fire Service Inc sold this rig to them.
