New Engine for Prospect Heights

The new fire engine for Prospect Heights is being designed with a focus on performance, efficiency, and modern firefighting needs. Below are the key specifications and details:

  • Spartan Metro Star chassis
  • Cummins L9 450HP engine paired with an Allison transmission
  • Front Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) of 21,500 lbs and rear GAWR of 32,500 lbs
  • Waterous 1,500-GPM single-stage pump equipped with a pressure governor
  • 750-gallon water tank for initial suppression efforts
  • Integrated foam system with a 60-gallon foam tank for enhanced fire control
  • No light tower or generator—equipped with all Fire Tec LED scene lighting for visibility and energy efficiency
  • All stainless steel body construction, which is lighter and more cost-effective than aluminum, as noted by Alexis
  • Minimalist cab design with no SCBA seats—SCBA and PPE stored in a compartment directly behind the cab
  • Only EMS equipment is stored inside the cab for quick access during medical emergencies

Pot Magnet

While a pot is not actually a shape per se, the Hope Pot Magnet category includes block and disc magnet shapes as well as magnets that contain Ceramic, Neodymium and Alnico magnetic materials. Pot magnets combine these shapes and materials with a steel casing that covers the exterior of the magnet to form an assembly with more magnetic strength and far more durability than standard magnets. The metal casing protects the brittle magnet from damage and simultaneously increases magnetic field strength by deflecting most of the field downwards to the uncovered base. The result is a magnetic holding tool that is versatile, highly effective and in many applications is far more practical than fasteners or glues.
