Nice to see the Webster Groves images. My mother, age 91, grew up in Webster. The old family house sat on a lot that is now a fire station (and city hall I believe).

Yep...the building is Fire/Police/City Hall. It is at #4 E. Lockwood Ave, but the fire house faces out to Elm Ave.



Webster's current rigs are posted earlier in the thread, if you didnt already see them.

Here is a closer look at the STLFD's Hackney/Ford F-550 Air Truck i.e. Unit 905. My dad was working at the shops today and he was driving the air truck. He stopped by to cook his dinner for later and eat some lunch at home with me. The compartments were locked and he had some stuff to do at home so i didn't get any inside shots.
