This from Fire Service, Inc:
Just FYI on the fire blog: The University Park aerial pictures are of University Park, TX.
The University Park, IL pumper is located under the pumper page. Currently it is listed as 140066 Fire Service. It was a demo we had on order.

the confusion about the engine being built for University Park has been solved … The aerial #140554 that was posted actually belongs to University Park, TX. The engine for University Park, IL is listed as a Fire Service, Inc. stock unit #140066. Photos have been updated in the post.
Thanks Erik and Shawn

I just looked on the in process page these are listed under aerials and a old job number and looks like it was never updated… the chicago rigs have newer job numbers and are complete and in service. No in process pics in the pumper section for UP

After looking closer at the pictures and going to the Eone site. I agree this is a truck chassis. So it’s either an old in production picture from when the tower was purchased or its mislabeled.

If its an engine I wonder why it has the Cyclone 2 aerial roof with the depressed center area. I’ve never seen that on an engine or a squad.

This is not a truck. It’s a second engine. A twin to the typhoon Delivered last Friday 10/28. Its expected to be done in January. The 75′ quint, Truck 75 is gone, sold to a Dept in MA. The only vehicle leaving is the 1983 Spartan that was the ex-Beecher engine. The current tower ladder isn’t going anywhere and the 1989 cyclone will be a reserve.

Is the Tower Truck staying

Their tower ladder is a 2011. Maybe this is going to be a 75′ or 78′ quint to replace the ALF 75′ quint. Didn’t a previous viewer state that UP was getting 2 engines though?

Doesn’t UP have a fairly newer tower?

How long is the ladder

what vehicles in UPFD’s fleet will be traded in once they get their new engine and the new aerial truck?
