### CUSTOM TOP MOUNT PUMPER #2030
**Elburn and Countryside Fire Protection District**
*Elburn, Illinois*
This pumper is truly a workhorse designed for efficiency and reliability. Built on a Spartan Gladiator MFD 10†raised roof chassis, it combines durability with modern technology. Under the hood lies a powerful Cummins ISL9, 450-HP diesel engine paired with an Allison 3000 EVS automatic transmission. Its heavy-duty 3/16†aluminum body is both lightweight and robust, featuring ROM roll-up doors for easy access to equipment.
The fire truck boasts a 1000-gallon polyethylene water tank alongside a 30-gallon foam tank, ensuring ample resources during emergencies. It also includes a single 2 ½†tank fill located at the rear, along with a Hale QMAX125 pump capable of delivering up to 1250 gallons per minute. The pump features an operator’s panel mounted across the top of the apparatus for quick adjustments.
Equipped with six 2 ½†discharges—two on the left side, one on the right, and three at the rear—the vehicle ensures versatility when responding to various situations. Additionally, there’s a 4†discharge on the right side and a 3†discharge for the deck gun, which uses an Akron Apollo deck gun. For suction capabilities, there are two 2 ½†gated suctions—one on each side—and preconnect options including one 2 ½†and two 1 ½†Mattydale preconnects.
Safety and firefighting efficiency are enhanced by the Foam Pro 2002 single-tank foam system. The front bumper extends by 21 inches, providing additional protection and housing a 5†front suction and a 1 ½†preconnect. Inside the chassis cab, you’ll find two EMS cabinets, while the wheel well areas feature three triple-bottle air bottle compartments.
Storage solutions abound, thanks to features like the Zico hydraulic ladder rack with suction hose storage, a Stokes basket storage rack in the rear transverse area, and a Pike pole storage compartment on the left upper area with rear access. Other notable inclusions are the Kussmaul 1200 battery conditioner/air compressor with auto eject, a Federal Q2B mechanical siren mounted on the front bumper, and a Whelen electronic siren equipped with a 100-watt Cast Products speaker.
Lighting plays a crucial role in visibility and safety, so the vehicle comes fitted with two FRC Evolution 12-volt brow lights on the cab roof, two Whelen Pioneer 12-volt scene lights on either side of the cab, and four FRC Focus 120-volt 500-watt recessed scene lights distributed around the sides and rear. There’s also a Smart Power 5500-watt hydraulically driven generator with a 120-volt system, as well as an electric cord reel with 100 feet of 10/3 cord and a junction box on the right side. A Chevron pattern striping adorns the rear for added visibility.
With dimensions totaling 9' 8" in overall height, 32' 8" in overall length, and a 202" wheelbase, the pumper offers excellent maneuverability despite its size. Specifications include a 148" cab-to-axle measurement, a 21,500-pound front axle weight rating (FAWR), a 27,000-pound rear axle weight rating (RAWR), and a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of 48,500 pounds.
