The Contenders (and the new logo) look pretty good. The switch from a Quantum to a Contender is dramatic. Was this a budget issue?

Yes and No. Yes because they are obviously cheaper, but they are also in older houses where the quantums have a difficult time to fitting. IIRC there are height issues in the old house where 9 12 and 16 are at

We have hose towers, they dry their hose on this.

Engine 17 is one of the many Spartan/Quality apparatus the AFD bought up until the around the mid-'90's. This particular rig looks to be a '92-'94 as they went to raised roof cabs around '95 with the raise brought forward over the Officer and Chauffeur around '96-'97 when it was the standard raise for Spartan.
Corrections welcome.
Thanks for sharing them.

(Some details are still awaiting installation, like the rear chevron and some LED's lighting)
(There are two more Battalion cars identical to this awating lighting/radio installation as well)
