Bill Friedrich shared the following details about the new MARION Rescue Pumper for Elk Grove Township:
This state-of-the-art rescue pumper is built on a Spartan Metrostar chassis with a 10-inch raised roof, offering increased headroom and improved visibility. It's powered by a robust Cummins engine rated at 450 horsepower, ensuring strong performance in any situation.
The unit features a Waterous side-mount, single-stage pump capable of delivering 1,500 gallons per minute, supported by a 750-gallon water tank and a 50-gallon foam tank for efficient fire suppression. A 6,000-watt Will-Burt light tower provides powerful illumination during night operations or in low-light conditions.
For tool storage, the truck includes enclosed ladder storage and a first-due tool compartment that opens directly into the pump access area, improving efficiency and accessibility. The front bumper is equipped with two pre-piped TNT extrication cutters and spreaders, along with two 100-foot electric extrication hose reels, making it well-prepared for vehicle extrication tasks.
Enhancing visibility and safety, the pumper is fitted with Whelen LED lighting. The unit is assigned to Marion Job number 61911, marking its official deployment into service.
