Toyne To Exhibit Aerial And Pumper Fire Apparatus At FDIC International 2019 Event

In April, 2019, Toyne will gear up to showcase its latest fire apparatus and customization expertise at the 2019 Fire Department Instructors Conference (FDIC) in Indianapolis, Indiana. FDIC is the world’s largest firefighter expo and conference.

The FDIC International 2019 event will be held in the Indiana Convention Center and Lucas Oil Stadium, from April 9 – April 13, 2019. Toyne's booth will feature a tailored Aerial and Pumper demo apparatus.

Fully customized Aerial apparatus

Taking center stage at Toyne’s booth, at the FDIC event, is a fully customized Aerial apparatus. The aerial is mounted on a 2019 Spartan Metro Star MFD Chassis with a 10” raised roof and has seating for six firefighters. The powertrain consists of a Cummins ISL9 450-horsepower engine and an Allison 3000 EVS transmission.

Other customizations include a 75-foot rear mount LTC steel ladder with an Akron remote-controlled monitor. Water is stored in a 500-gallon UPF tank and can be pumped at 2,000 gallons per minute with its Hale Qmax pump.
