  If you are referring to the one in the 6th and 7th photos, it is a loaner from Alexis Fire Equipment being used by Prospect Heights. The 1994 Spartan/S&S Tanker 9 is out of service and been decommissioned. A replacement tanker is on order. I will provide a more detailed report to the webmaster once all the details are finalized
