This from Drew Smith:
Was driving by MPC Lighting & Communication today and saw this ex-military vehicle outside being worked on. I'm told it is a MRAP built in 2007 or 2008 for $648,000. It served in Iraq and Afghanistan and was recently decommissioned. The story I received us that the DOD has too many of them, they are too costly to moth ball and maintain, and that the first 12 were given to local law enforcement SWAT, with NIPAS being the sole IL recipient thus far. It is highly armored, had all weapons removed, but retains many desirable features. The chassis is 12VDC vs the old military 24VDC. It has a very large winch on the front and a ramp/stairs at the rear. I'm told NIPAS will paint and letter it to match their fleet. I was also told that the Feds did full PM service and installed all new tires before delivery.

phillyBurbs.com has an article documenting the arrival of the engine that was donated to the Moonachie Fire Department in Bergen County, NJ by the Rutland-Dundee FPD.
A fire engine from the Rutland-Dundee Fire Company in Gilberts, IL is being donated to the Moonachie Fire Department in Bergen County, NJ after they lost several vehicles during Hurricane Sandy. The engine passed through Bucks County on Wednesday morning where it was unloaded from a train car at an SMS Rail Lines loading dock in Falls Township.
Captains Rich Myers and Jeff Meyer of Rutland-Dundee then drove the 1984 Pierce pumper up to Moonachie, which is about 9 miles northwest of Manhattan.
