Engine 1844 is a 2010 HME 1871 Spectr/Toyne 1500/3000 pumper tanker. The hydraulic rack seen on this side stores the portable tank. Larry Shapiro photo Recently, the Spring Grove Fire Protection District in McHenry County received an early delivery of their new HME/Toyne pumper/tanker. This impressive unit, Engine 1844, replaces two older vehicles that have served the department for decades. The new truck features an HME 1871 Spectr cab with a tandem axle chassis, offering more space and comfort for firefighters. Its extended body and raised roof house a fully enclosed, top-mounted pump panel, making it both functional and modern. The top-mounted pump panel is enclosed within the super command cab similar to Spring Grove's 1999 HME/US Tanker pumper. Larry Shapiro photo This new pumper/tanker is equipped with a 1,500 GPM pump and comes with a 3,000-gallon water tank along with a 40-gallon foam tank. The long body includes high-side compartments on both sides, allowing easy access to ladders and the portable tank through overhead hydraulic storage racks. This design enhances efficiency during emergency operations by keeping equipment organized and readily available. The officer's side of the rig also features high-side compartments and hydraulic ladder rack storage for the ground ladders. Larry Shapiro photo One unique feature of Engine 1844 is its extendable chutes located just behind the pump module, allowing water to be discharged into a portable tank. Unlike many tankers, there’s no rear chute. This placement makes it easier to transfer water quickly during incidents where a mobile water source is needed. Both sides of the vehicle have these chutes, ensuring flexibility in different scenarios. The extendable discharge chute to dump the water into a portable tank is located just behind the pump module. There is a similar chute on the opposite side of the unit. Larry Shapiro photo The rear of Engine 1844 shows the NFPA compliant chevron striping. Larry Shapiro photo The rear of the unit features clear NFPA-compliant chevron striping, ensuring visibility and compliance with safety standards. With its modern design, advanced equipment, and thoughtful layout, Engine 1844 is set to serve the Spring Grove community well for years to come. It marks a significant upgrade in both capability and functionality for the department.
Galvanized steel coil is a material produced by continuous hot-dip galvanizing process with hot-rolled Steel Strip or cold-rolled steel strip as the substrate. Hot dip galvanized coil supplied in coil form after coiling. Therefore, Galvanized Steel Sheet (coil) can be divided into hot-rolled galvanized sheet coil and cold-rolled hot-dip galvanized sheet coil. They are mainly used in the fields of construction, household appliances, automobiles, containers, transportation and household industry. Especially in steel structure construction, automobile manufacturing, steel warehouse manufacturing and other industries. Their main characteristics are: strong corrosion resistance, good surface quality, benefit from deep processing, economy and practicality, etc.
Galvanized Steel Coil gets coated in layers of zinc because rust won't attack this protective metal. The most external layer is all zinc, but successive layers are a mixture of zinc and iron, with an interior of pure steel. These multiple layers are responsible for the amazing property of the metal to withstand corrosion-inducing circumstances. Zinc also protects the steel by acting as a "sacrificial layer." If rust does take hold on the surface of Galvanized steel coil, the zinc will get corroded first. This allows the zinc that is spread over the breach or scratch to prevent rust from reaching the steel. For countless outdoor, marine, or industrial applications, Galvanized steel coil is an essential fabrication component.
The requirements of chemical composition of galvanized coil are different in different countries. The national standard is to detect the content of carbon, manganese, phosphorus, sulfur and silicon.
