The Elwood Fire Protection District (FPD) in Illinois has recently received a state-of-the-art industrial foam pumper from Sutphen, equipped with a National Foam system. This new unit is designed to handle demanding industrial firefighting scenarios with high efficiency and reliability. The pumper features a 256-inch wheelbase, a travel height of 11 feet 11 inches, and a total length of 37 feet 6 inches. The chassis is a Sutphen 73” model with a half 15” raised roof, offering ample space and visibility for the crew. The four-door, four-person cab includes two EMS cabinets, making it ideal for emergency medical services as well as fire response. Under the hood, the truck is powered by a Detroit Diesel S60 engine producing 515 horsepower, paired with an Allison GEN IV EVS4000 transmission. The vehicle is built for heavy-duty use, with front axles rated at 23,000 lbs and rear axles at 31,000 lbs. A 320-amp alternator ensures consistent power supply during operations. The pump system is a Hale 8FG model, capable of delivering 300 GPM. It includes multiple discharges: three 5-inch outlets on both sides, one 3-inch on each side, two 2.5-inch outlets, and an 8-inch deck gun that can flow up to 5,300 GPM. The unit also has a 750-gallon water tank and a 300-gallon foam tank, all integrated with a National Foam Servo Command 300 system. The body is constructed by Sutphen and features a PA-12 configuration, roll-up doors, and a total compartment space of 234 cubic feet. It comes with a Duo-Safety ladder complement and rear chute storage for efficient equipment management. Optional upgrades include a Harrison 20W generator, a Safety Vision camera system, and a Command Light 8000W light tower, enhancing both functionality and safety. The unit was built under shop order #HS-5058, and detailed drawings are available for reference.
