John,
Absolutely fantastic photos, as always, I'd love to buff out your way someday, so many neat rigs. Do you or Paul happen to have any photos that you could post of a Sutphen tower that was refurbished with a HME cab in the St. Paul area, maybe South St. Paul? Also, do you have anything from the refineries in the Twin Cities? I think there was a Koch refinery that had some very unique equipment, maybe a big conventional engine and an E\-One quint with two guns on the ladder tip? Thanks!

Here's the Sutphen rehab (poor quality shot I snapped @ the '06 Burnsville Fire Muster). It's from North St. Paul. South St. Paul has a Sutphen rehab on a Pierce Arrow chassis (as does Hopkins). Enjoy!

Juergen Thanks for the compliment.
jlq1875: Thank you for the compliment also. I do have pictures of some of the rigs you requested. Most were taken before I started getting info, and some were taken by Paul and as long as it has a Q and a booster line, he does not get too excited about the rest.
First up is North St. Paul L-5 Custom Fire did the refurb. 2002 HME/1982 Sutphen 1500/250

There are two refineries in the Metro. The Koch Refinery and the Marathon Oil Refinery, that used to be owned by Ashland Oil.
I have two pictures of Marathon rigs. If somebody has specs on these rigs, feel free to jump in.

John,
Those are the ones, THANKS so much for posting them, much appreciated! I have never seen a "good" photo of the North St. Paul tower which I've been looking for for some time. I've seen Sutphens refurbed with other manufacturers' cabs, but never a HME. Great shot of it by the way! I didn't know about the Koch Pierce, I have seen photos somewhere of the E-Ones from there, but nothing as nice as Paul's pics. That ladder is really unique, don't think I've ever seen a ladder tip set up that way anywhere else.

Here are some specs of the Koch Refinery units:
Ladder 2: 1995 E\-One Cyclone II 3000 gpm-pump, 750 gallons of foam, 95' ladder
Engine 3: 1995 Kenworth T-800/E-One 3000 gpm-pump, 3000 gallons of foam
Engine 4: Same specs as Engine 3, same year

John,
I was passing through North St. Paul yesterday and saw the city's tree trimming truck which has a Sutphen cab and chassis so I was wondering if this was originally the cab and chassis of the aerial refurbed as the present Ladder 5?
Thanks,
Frenchy
