Barrington Countryside (IL) Fire Protection District’s Deputy Chief Nick Asta gives you a tour of the department’s Enforcer 61’ Heavy-Duty Sky-Boom. This vehicle was designed with a shorter wheelbase to get into the tight spaces. A Husky 12 Foam System and 30-gallon foam cell were added to flow enough foam to use the water on the vehicle. A generator was also added to be able to operate lighting and tools.

To standardize the fleet, the compartments were designed to store tools similar to their other apparatus. A multi-camera system was added to the Sky-Boom for more accuracy and quicker deployment.
