Wilmette Fire Department open house

The Wilmette Fire Department held an open house on Saturday morning, May 18th, 2019. The event featured several vintage fire apparatus and gave residents a chance to see the newly arrived Engine 27, which was ceremoniously pushed into the station as part of the celebration.

Engine 27 is a 2019 Pierce Dash CF PUC, unit number 32569. Itâ€™s equipped with a 1,500-GPM pump, 750 gallons of water, and a foam cell that can hold either 20 or 30 gallons. The engine also includes a 35-foot ground ladder and will serve as Engine 26 when the tower ladder is unavailable. It will be stationed at Station 27, replacing the older 2013 E-One engine, which will now act as a reserve unit.

In addition to welcoming the new engine, the department recently sold their reserve tower ladder, and they currently have another engine available for sale. This event not only celebrated the arrival of Engine 27 but also highlighted the ongoing efforts of the Wilmette Fire Department to maintain and upgrade their fleet to better serve the community.
