New Engine for Elwood FPD
The Elwood Fire Protection District in Illinois recently welcomed a brand-new industrial foam pumper from Sutphen, equipped with an advanced National Foam system. This state-of-the-art vehicle is designed to handle large-scale industrial firefighting operations with precision and efficiency.
This impressive piece of equipment measures 256 inches in wheelbase, stands at a height of 11 feet and 11 inches, and stretches 37 feet and 6 inches in length. The chassis, crafted by Sutphen, features a robust 73-inch design with a raised roof that’s 15 inches high. It comes with a four-door, four-person cab complete with two EMS cabinets, ensuring both comfort and functionality for the crew. The front axle supports up to 23,000 pounds, while the rear axle can handle an impressive 31,000 pounds. Powering this powerhouse is a Detroit Diesel S60 engine delivering 515 horsepower, paired with a reliable Allison GEN IV EVS4000 transmission.
The pumper boasts an 8FG Hale pump capable of delivering 300 gallons per minute, supported by multiple discharge points including three 5-inch outlets on the left, one on the right, and several smaller ones strategically placed for maximum coverage. For foam firefighting, it includes a 750-gallon water tank and a 300-gallon foam tank, along with a National Foam Servo Command 300 foam system. The body, also manufactured by Sutphen, offers 234 cubic feet of total compartment space, accommodating all necessary firefighting tools and equipment.
Additional features include a Harrison 20kW generator, a Safety Vision camera system, and a Command Light 8000w light tower for enhanced safety and operational flexibility. The top-mounted pump panel and industrial foam monitor provide easy access and control for firefighters during critical operations. A Sutphen shop order number HS-5058 identifies this specific unit, and detailed drawings showcase its comprehensive design.
This industrial pumper not only meets but exceeds industry standards, offering unmatched performance and reliability. Its sleek yet functional design makes it a standout addition to the Elwood FPD's fleet, ensuring they are prepared for any firefighting challenge they may face.
