From Larry Shapiro:
Hey everyone,
I just got back from an incredible shoot at the West Chicago Fire Department, where they recently took delivery of their brand-new Rosenbauer America Panther ARFF vehicle. It's always exciting to see these machines in action, and this one didn’t disappoint.
The first shot I captured really captures the power and precision of the Panther as it sits there, gleaming under the afternoon sun. You can almost feel the strength of the machine just by looking at it. I’ve attached the image below, along with a few more that I snapped while the crew was conducting some routine checks.
As you can see in the second photo, the firefighters were putting the Panther through its paces—testing out its capabilities and ensuring everything is running smoothly. These guys clearly know their stuff, and it was fascinating to watch them work.
In the third image, you’ll notice the intricate design details of the Panther. From the streamlined body to the advanced technology integrated into every aspect of the vehicle, it’s clear why this is considered one of the best ARFF vehicles on the market today. The firefighters themselves couldn’t stop talking about how impressed they were with its performance.
Finally, the last photo shows the Panther parked in front of the fire station. There’s something about the way it blends with the backdrop yet stands out as a symbol of cutting-edge firefighting technology. It’s not just a vehicle—it’s a statement of readiness and professionalism.
If you’re into firefighting or automotive tech, this is definitely worth checking out. Big thanks to the West Chicago FPD for letting me document their new acquisition. And a special shoutout to Larry Shapiro and shapirophotography.net for capturing these amazing moments.
Stay safe out there!
Best regards,
