This is the one now owned by Rolla, Missouri Fire Department. Rolla is a career fire department between St. Louis and Springfield on I-44. They have two fire houses. Rolla painted it lime green. Rolla has since returned to the proper color of Red with newer purchases. Thanks for posting.



Stay Safe, Rick

R-3's old quarters (46/27's old qtrs) is supposedly going to be turned into the new Bronx Boro Command.



Got some old 46/27 Journals from the 1930's that the R-3 guys found in a crawl space before they moved out of the old house.

The new Battalion pick-ups were "supposed" to be white over red, not sure what happened- checking into it <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

Maybe just the ems battalion chiefs car's going to be all red, and maybe they will paint the fire side's white over red.

Does anyone know what they store in the customized roof compartment? Also wondering why the new Seagraves have 4 sections of hardsleeve (or any hardsleeve for that matter).

Most of the company's leave them empty. Too much of a pain in the A$$ to get up there. The 4 sections are for drafting. You need two sets of hoses for each inlet. When they get pump tested they use the Officer side inlets. (2)
