New tanker for the Stockton FPD
A few years back, the Stockton Fire Protection District (FPD) in Illinois faced a significant setback when several of their fire trucks were destroyed in a devastating fire. The incident left the department scrambling to rebuild its fleet and ensure they could continue serving their community effectively.
Recently, the district took a step forward in strengthening their resources by acquiring a brand-new tanker from Freightliner and Rosenbauer America. This state-of-the-art vehicle, numbered 22126, is now part of the Stockton FPD’s arsenal, marking an important upgrade for the department. The image below, provided by Rosenbauer, showcases the impressive design and functionality of this new addition.
However, the department hasn’t stopped there. In an effort to optimize their fleet further, they’ve also listed a 2003 International Harvester (IHC) tanker for sale on govdeals.com. This older model, while still functional, reflects the district's strategic approach to balancing modernization with cost efficiency. Below is an image of the tanker, sourced directly from the department’s records.
It’s worth noting that this move underscores the practicality of maintaining a diverse fleet. By acquiring cutting-edge vehicles like the Freightliner/Rosenbauer tanker while simultaneously selling off older assets, the Stockton FPD is demonstrating adaptability and forward-thinking planning. Special thanks go out to Martin for bringing this update to our attention.
As someone who follows local emergency services closely, it’s heartening to see how communities like Stockton are investing in their future. While rebuilding after such losses isn’t easy, these efforts show resilience and dedication to public safety—a reminder that behind every piece of equipment lies a team committed to protecting lives and property.
