Both of those departments have always put together and awesome fire truck. Looks like 2220 has a bumper turret. I know they put one on the tanker that is first in to spirit airport. Sharp looking trucks, but those pics looked photoshopped. lol

Thats because they are. If you bring both up and compare, the shadows, snow piles and flags are the same. Why would Pierce have to photoshop the trucks onto there driveway?

Not the best shot, but here is Pattonville's new Pierce quint. I shot this at Missouri Winter Fire School several weeks ago.

Has anyone seen the new Fairview (Heights) Crimson/Spartan Gladiator Classic aerial platform yet? I just discovered the other day under the "New Deliveries" portion of the website that this rig was delivered in November, if I remember correctly. Fairview's 1989 platform is for sale and the price has been reduced.



The Crimson photo shows the rig without striping or other graphics. I'm sure it looks pretty sharp now with those things since it's in service. Any photos, please post them!

The Wellston FPD operated this classic ladder truck before they changed their name to the Mid-County FPD in the 1980s.

Thanks Dave, Very sharp. Did St Charles leave it red or did it get a coat of the ugly lime-green?



Stay Safe Brother,

Rick

Ugly lime-green Rick. If fact while I was in the St.Louis County Fire academy way back in 1985 we used this rig for ladders class. It was still red but St. charles ruined it shortly after.

And here's a shot of one of the last 2 rigs to wear the "Wellston FPD" emblem on its side.

Thanks for posting the Wellston trucks, Dave. Its neat seeing departments dont exist anymore. Do you have anymore of area departments that are no longer?


St. Louis Metro - Guest - 03-27-2010

Funny that you speak of Wellston as their newly named dept, Mid-County just had a 5-Alarm Job shortly after midnight.


St. Louis Metro - mussels - 03-27-2010

Wasn't the last rig with the Wellston name a 1983 Spartan Emergency-One pumper?


St. Louis Metro - Guest - 03-27-2010

Here are a few from non-existent Gardenville FPD. Gardenville merged with the Affton FPD in the early 80s and is now covered by Affton's 3 House. Pumper 71, 72, Rescue 7 and Car 705 respectively.
