A 2022 Pierce tower ladder has been delivered to Plainfield (IL) Fire Station No. 1 and it is very similar to the unit it replaces, according to a report published by Patch.com.
The new apparatus has a 100-foot aerial, carries 188 feet of ground ladders, has a 500-gallon water tank and can pump up to 2,000-gpm, according to the report.
Although the new aerial is very similar to the one it replaces there are some improvements including updated compartments for better use of the space, more fire hose, a larger water tank and state-of-the-art technology and lighting, the report says.
It will also carry some medical gear and supplies to help treat patients at the scene, according to the report.
