It has a 105-foot PAL105 aerial device. It has a Hale mid-ship QSMG-150/ 1500-GPM pump, an Elkhart panel mounted foam eductor that is pre-piped to the front cross lay. It has a combination 5″ rear discharge from the pump or direct aerial waterway inlet switched by a valve. There are five seat positions with 3 SCBA seats (1 fold down jump seat, non SCBA). It has a center mounted EMS cabinet, forward facing, in the rear of the truck cab. The only equipment provided with the truck will be the ground ladders and the electric fog nozzle for the master stream. The ladders are a 10′ folding, 14′ combination, 1-16′ roof, 1-14′ roof, 1-12’ roof, 24′ extension, and a 35′ extension.

This from Andy Hilk:
On my days off I teach a fire science class to high school students that is run through the Technology Center of DuPage (TCD). TCD is a Career and Technical Education (CTE) High School for juniors and seniors attending high school in DuPage County and has about 1,100 students enrolled that attend either a morning or afternoon session. Programs of study include Fire Science/EMT, Criminal Justice, Auto Body, Construction, and many more.This past Saturday, TCD, which is on Swift Road in Addison, had our annual expo and the students participated in a mock crash scenario in the parking lot assisted by the Addison FPD. Last year the Wood Dale FPD donated two vehicles to TCD; a 1980’s vintage Pierce Dash which was x-Engine 68 I believe, and a Ford/Wheeled Coach ambulance. The rigs have now been lettered as TCD rigs with an acknowledgement to Wood Dale.

Bensenville had a fire this morning at 710 E. Green, Victory Auto Wreckers. They had a good amount of fire contained to a pile of cars in the junkyard. Here are some shots I took of some of the rigs there including Wood Dale’s new engine.
