Nice job with those graphics. Hopefully they can get another 16 years of service out of it.

I like how they put on the back of the cab how many gallons of water the Engine has. Do all south suburban fire departments have how much water their tanks have on the backs of their cabs? I know Division 12 does that with tankers.

Looks sharp, it’ll serve them well for many years, probably see more fire too.

I believe it also responded on its fire over this past weekend. Does look sharp.

Looks great with that black roof I second that it does look like brand new.
I’m happy for them they’re a great bunch of firefighters……
