a few un-marked cars and a few marked ones. don't know who they belong to.
Thanks for posting these Ben. I dont live in Mehlville anymore, Im out in Valley Park now.
The engine that is labled as 1750 is a reserve. They now have a 2007 Pierce Dash. I would say 1770 was running with the spare as their truck is not on scene. Truck 1752 and Engine 1750 are cross manned, so it most likely would not have made it to this. I like the LED PowerArcs that Mehlville added to Squad 1756. The first unmarked Crown Vic is Mehlville Asst. Chief 1701. I would imagine the second one is Chief 1700, not for sure though.

I kinda thought you moved but i wasn't sure. 1750's new Pierce was there, on MidAmerica Circle on a hydrant. I was in SoCo when this call came to me on my phone via pager system. I was going through this post and i saw the pic of 1750's new rig and i thought it looked great! I hope it picks up around here. Stay safe!

Not a problem Ben. Strange they took all the trucks from 5 house (minus the medic). Do you know if it went out as fire showing? I have only seen the 3 run at the same time once. It was pretty cool. The pumper, squad and truck. I heard Mehlville is expecting a new pumper for 1770 in '09.

I wonder who was first due because the reserve 1750 was behind 1752 on the side that the fire was showing. I dont know if they were first in or if the 1st due pulled up on butler hill rd.(i.e. 1710)
Here are a few older pictures I found in the collection. Some were shots from my dad others were before I went digital.
First up is from the Great American Fire Engine Rally held in St. Louis. Im not sure what year this is, but I do know it was in Forest Park at the time, not in Downtown.
