From Bartlett Fire District Facebook page: 

Exciting news from the BFPD! We’ve just welcomed a new Battalion 3 buggie, featuring several notable improvements:
– Clean Cab Concept: We’re adhering to the clean cab standard by storing firefighting gear, which may contain contaminants, in the back of the truck instead of the cab area.
– Enhanced Equipment Space: The truck’s design, featuring a rear cap, offers increased room for equipment storage. – Tethered Drone Integration: This vehicle is equipped with a tethered drone that can be launched directly from the truck, enhancing accountability and situational awareness.

Guys, this rig was sitting behind the Dunkin Donuts in Broadview Heights today. Its former Chicago Fire Dept. Squad 2A. Anybody have any info on this? There is an extensive renovation going on inside the store so it is possible that the contractor doing the work owns it. I always liked the Chicago Snorkels. I believe this one is a 2000. The Snorkel Squads run as 2-piece companies along with the respective rescue trucks.
