From the LadderTowerCompany Facebook page:

This is the first new Snorkel to come off the line in Ephrata PA in many years. We couldn’t be more excited and want to say “thanks” to all the great people at LTC who made this happen. This beauty is headed to FDIC and then to our great customers, Frankfort Fire Department in Illinois. And thanks to Ed Orolin and Interstate Emergency Vehicles for everything they’ve done. This was a big team effort. #FDIC2016
