Approximately a year ago under the advisement of Chief Goodrich, The Board of Trustees approved the purchase of a used fire engine from our neighboring department to replace our nearly 45 year old engine 81.
Late this summer we took delivery of the new to us E-83.
Over the last several months members not only completed a large amount of training on the new engine but also installed and placed all of the equipment in house to help keep costs down.
E-83 is a 2006 Alexis International with a 1250 pump and 1000 gallons of water.
Last night members completed the final step to putting it in service, the traditional pushing in of the new engine.
Please welcome E-83 to the Kankakee Township Fire family!!!!
