In 1996, the rig had another refurbishment by ITE Fire Apparatus: a new engine, an automatic transmission, and a 1994 cab with some other minor body work. The rig arrived in 1991 after it was stripped down to the frame; a total rehab was performed of the boom and new stainless steel body, which had an enclosed ladder compartment installed (FDNY tower ladders’ ladder troughs were originally open on all single-axle rigs) and side half doors added to the cab to enhance firefighter safety. As of July 2019, more than 76,000 first responders were covered by the WTC Health Plan. The wall at the FDNY's headquarters in Brooklyn honors FDNY firefighters, paramedics and EMTs who have died of 9/11-related illnesses.

The members had a lot of pride in this rig because one of their former members, Firefighter Dana Hannon, who perished with the FDNY on 9-11-01, was also a former volunteer firefighter in Wyckoff, and both departments had bonded after the tragic events. $16.99 $ 16.
