Thanks, Tyler

 

It is a 2001 Spartan Advantage II/ E\-One 1250/1000. It was based off a program E\-One Tradition pumper that was offered at the time on a Spartan Advantage II chassis.  I don't have a job number in my data base. It was purchased by FIre District 1 specifically for the Edgerton Fire House which was Fire House 2 and has always served there. Some of the specific features were the front suction for drafting. This was so the fold-da-tank could be placed in front of the engine on the county roads and the tenders could pass after dumping. Also a short wheel base with side mounty pump were speced due to the bay depth at the fire house. They also wanted a short wheel base because at the time they often only had one person staffing on the Engine. A few of the features were out side of the basic program truck offered. It has been a very popular machine at Fire District 1 with few problems. After the consolidation with Gardner the Fire District 1 fire houses were renumbered and Edgerton became Fire House 4. 

 

Stay Safe,
