Subject: Update on the Alsip Fire Department’s Rosenbauer Commander EXT (2014 Model)
Hi everyone,
I just wanted to share some updates regarding the new tower ladder truck that the Alsip Fire Department has been working on. It’s a Rosenbauer Commander EXT with a mid-mounted tower and a 100-foot ladder. The vehicle is part of their ongoing efforts to upgrade their fleet and enhance firefighting capabilities.
Here's a quick summary of what they’ve been up to:
---
**Vehicle Overview:**
The truck features a robust design with advanced firefighting technology. Its mid-mount configuration provides excellent stability and maneuverability, making it ideal for urban environments where tight spaces are a challenge. The Rosenbauer Commander series is known for its reliability and innovation, so this model fits perfectly into their strategic plans.

**Additional Notes:**
The Alsip Fire Department has been actively involved in the customization process to ensure the truck meets all their operational needs. They’ve worked closely with Rosenbauer to tailor the specifications to fit their specific requirements, such as adding specialized equipment and ensuring compatibility with existing infrastructure.
Once completed, this truck will significantly boost their firefighting capacity and provide better protection for the community. I’ll make sure to post more updates as soon as it’s fully operational!
Let me know if you have any questions or thoughts about the project.
Best regards,
Bill Schreiber
