The engine is a Detroit Diesel series 60 and the transmission is an Allison EVS 4060. It is equipped with a Harrison 10kw hydraulic PTO operated power generator that operates. 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.

Current pump test certification from 2018. Annual inspection reports. Current on preventive maintenance. Last passing aerial test was 2017

Recent history repairs-

Pump overhauled in 2011, engine rebuilt in 2012, transmission replaced in 2012, front frame rails are splinted due to stress cracks just behind engine/transmission mounts left and right, aerial swivel replaced in 2013. All overhead emergency light bars upgraded to LED in 2013.

Broken, damaged, or inoperative-

The aerial device failed annual inspection in 2018 due to excessive wear in the primary rotation bearing. The rear frame has been repaired several times but does still have significant rust scale, rust jacking, and corrosion. The rear suspension has rust holes in the suspension carriers and the right side will need to be repaired or replaced. The A/C compressor is inoperative/ seized, and the belt was removed.

Technology Center of DuPage fire science open house

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.
