I like seeing the old St Louis stuff you have in your collection. I know youve posted quite a bit, but do you have more? <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/popcorn.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

The City of Rock Hill sits in the central corridor of St. Louis County, just minutes from some of the most affluent areas of the county. The city decided to sell its municipal building and firehouse to a developer a fews year ago. There was some talk of getting rid of the fire department all together. Well,things didn't go as planned and now they have a fire department and no firehouse. They use this old house for living quarters and the brothers have to walk next door to get the rig. Yes, it is a fully paid department.

Independence was just as busy as Kansas City. The western edge of Independence reflects the east side of Kansas City very rough with lots of fire duty. Sadly this Engine started the short lived turn to chrome yellow by the IFD. Engine 1 was later refurbished in 1986 by Pierce and painted solid Candy Apple RED with a Federal Q2b added. It was then assigned to Pumper 4 in the late 1980's. It was hit by a train in 1995ish while at Pumper 4 and landed on its side. Once again it was refurbished in a new color of White over Vermilion Red and the Q siren was removed by the shops. This rig served in reserve in to the early 2000's when it was disposed of. It was the last Seagrave on the roster for IFD and lead a colorful career. All Independence units have been RED since the mid 1980's, the chrome yellow was short lived.



Independence was primarily a Seagrave Customer. Where Kansas City, Missouri alternated between Seagrave and American LaFrance.

Served unit 1989 as the South side Truck Company from No.2. IFD only operated two Trucks a north and south side truck. It along with Snorkel 1 were disposed of in 1989 when Truck 1 received a new Sutphen Tower and Truck 2 received a E\-One Hurricane 95ft Tower Ladder. The Sutphen is now in reserve at No.5.



The Snorkel's were RED their entire career.
