A tale of two cities …

This is from Larry Shapiro:

or … we’ll have it our way …

Two neighboring fire departments, Northfield and Wilmette, recently received new E-ONE e-Max engines. While both units were built on the same chassis with identical cab shells, they differ significantly in their specifications and overall design.

Some of the key differences include the emergency lighting systems, the front bumper design, the side cab window and storage layout, as well as the water tank capacity. These variations highlight how each department customized their equipment to suit their specific needs and operational preferences.

From the rear, the differences become even more apparent. The compartment layouts, hose bed configurations, striping patterns, lighting setups, and access ladder placements all vary between the two units.
