Yes this Pierce was originally with St. Louis and Salem, CT purchased it aproximately 10 years ago to see how an aerial would work for them. Last year Salem purcahsed a new Ferrara 75' quint to replace it. Salem then sold the rig to Lebanon last year. Under teh jumpseat window Lebanon placed a scroll whihc says "The Spirit of St. Louis and Salem".
