This from Tim Right:

I drove past the Oakbrook Terrace fire station today and the new truck they bought was outside so I snapped a couple pictures.

  This is a sharp looking truck and appears to be in great shape without knowing if there are any issues with the mechanical operation of it.

  I’m with you Mike L! Hairy should start his own consulting firm!

  I am sure York Center will enjoy their new truck

  Good for them getting a true truck and not a Quint. And don’t call the Ass-endit a tower ladder. It’s a cheap knockoff of an aerial apparatus. I’m still amazed by Harry, though. He could make millions consulting with his vast knowledge and experience of apparatus.

  It came from Warminster, PA Fire Department outside of Philadelphia.

  Refurbing a 31 year old truck would be absurd.

  Where did this truck come from? This is also a true truck company and not a quint.

  The e-one had a great run! Does not surprise me they can’t get parts for a 31 year old rig anymore. I don’t think e one even makes the old towers chassis anymore. I believe it was on a Hurricane chassis. They went from a tower ladder to a straight stick. Where as Oak Brook went from a stick to a tower.
