I know one has been delivered in Michigan already, but I'd bet this is one of the first few built...[/quote]

Thanks np, I was told the same thing in another thread. I was unable to change the info on this post.

Think you'll ever get across the river an get some shots of East St. Louis rigs? Not that I'd go without an armed escort.......

Baker did not start building the Aerialscope for Mack until 1970.

ilfirebuff, The last time I was there '86-'87 they operated a couple E/One Fords and a Seagrave for engines, I didn't see an aerial. Please post the pic, that'd be nice.

I thought East St. Louis, since riverboat gambling, had really straightened up with the additional funding to the city for law enforcement and fire protection. I thought they essentially replaced the entire fire department fleet.



Thanks.

They have fairly new apparatus. I saw a while back they have twin E\-One engines. I think they are 200?'s. Im not sure what the Truck Co is. Whenever they need a truck it seems like they call an StLFD unit across river.



Even with the Casino, the city is poor and very corrupt. They FD and PD could use more funding from somewhere.

Excellent Topic. Nice shots everyone!

Here is E.St.Louis FD Eng.424 a 2002 E\-One Typhoon. Pic taken in April 2006.

Thanks for saving it. I was on vacation through the active posting periods so like a couple of other pixers I missed it.

Absolutely wonderful thread. I'm really enjoying the questions and comments from various interested parties.
