Bill Friedrich recently shared photos of four new fire apparatus deliveries to departments in Divisions 12, 13, and 19. Notably, the first three units are all painted black over red—a color scheme that Wheaton has used for many years. St. Charles previously had a white-over-lime-green scheme, but they transitioned to black over red several years ago. Oak Brook Terrace has traditionally been white over red, but their new engine marks a shift to black over red, signaling a modern update to their fleet.
The first photo shows Wheaton Fire Department’s 2010 Pierce Impel pumper (SN 23210), Engine 431. It features a 1,500-GPM pump and carries 750 gallons of water. This unit is a solid example of the department’s ongoing efforts to maintain up-to-date equipment.
Oak Brook Terrace’s new engine, built by Marion on a Spartan chassis with a Gladiator Classic MFDR cab, is a significant change for the department. It includes a 1,500-GPM pump and a 1,000-gallon water tank. Most notably, this is the first rig with a black cab roof, breaking from the long-standing tradition of white roofs. The interior design is well thought out, with easy access to all tools and equipment.
Several additional images highlight the details of Engine 311. The engineer’s compartment is designed for efficiency, allowing quick access to essential tools. The rear of the truck features a low hose bed with secure webbing as required by NFPA standards. The officer's side includes a hydraulic ladder rack, while the curbside area is equipped with hydraulic tools for vehicle extrication.
St. Charles’ Truck 101 is a 2010 Pierce Arrow XT quint with a 1,500-GPM pump, a 500-gallon water tank, and a 100' aluminum aerial. This unit represents a strong addition to their fleet, offering both versatility and performance.
Finally, Manhattan Fire Department’s new engine, Engine 1221, was built by Alexis on a Spartan chassis with a Gladiator Classic cab. It also features a 1,500-GPM pump and a 750-gallon water tank. These updates across multiple departments show a trend toward modernization and improved safety standards.
