Rich,
Great idea however most would rather complain about what they have rather than try a new idea that may make things better. As fire chiefs are recycled from one department to the next, job preservation becomes the norm rather than being a pioneer supporting new ideas.

Vast improvement over the “Tinley spec” Pierce pumpers from the early 2000’s. Those were too tall and hard to work hose and ladders off of. E-47 and this one look really sharp and easier to work off of.

That may not happen anytime soon.

Maybe Tinley or Orland can take over???

Nice engine. Maybe if Tinley has a surplus engine, they can sell it to Oak forest.

Looks impressive. Are those blue rectangles reflectors or did they forget to take of some tape? I see them on the door steps too.
