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 apparatus is designed to handle demanding fire suppression tasks and provide enhanced flexibility in emergency response.
The pumper features a 256-inch wheelbase, with a travel height of 11 feet 11 inches and a total length of 37 feet 6 inches. The chassis is a Sutphen model with a 73-inch base and a half 15-inch raised roof, offering ample space for the crew and equipment. The four-door, four-person cab includes two EMS cabinets, making it ideal for medical and fire response scenarios.
Under the hood, the unit is powered by a Detroit Diesel S60 engine rated at 515 horsepower, paired with an Allison GEN IV EVS4000 transmission. The electrical system includes a Leece Neville 320-amp alternator, ensuring reliable power for all onboard systems.
The pump is a Hale 8FG model, delivering up to 300 gallons per minute. It features multiple discharges, including three 5-inch outlets on each side, two 3-inch lines, and a high-flow 8-inch deck gun capable of 5,300 GPM. A 750-gallon water tank and a 300-gallon foam tank are included, along with the National Foam Servo Command 300 system for efficient foam application.
The body is built by Sutphen and includes a PA-12 system, roll-up doors, and a total of 234 cubic feet of compartment space. The unit also comes with a Duo-Safety Pumper Ladder complement and rear chute storage for ladders.
Optional equipment includes a Harrison 20W generator, a Safety Vision camera system, and a Command Light 8000W light tower, enhancing both functionality and safety during operations.
This new industrial foam pumper is a significant upgrade for the Elwood FPD, providing advanced capabilities to tackle large-scale incidents and industrial fires. The design and specifications reflect Sutphen's commitment to quality and performance, ensuring the department is well-equipped for any challenge.
