I don't know about you, but I hate this rig. The configuration is just strange...Amber/Red front warning lights, 4 siren speakers and no Q. The Apparatus Committee must've been on vacation when they designed this one. It doesn't match anything DFD has bought before or after...

Like SFD (or should it be DFD now?) said, Tower 27 is a nearly sister rig with the same style lightbar but less amber on theirs for some reason. I asked about the sirens on Tower 1 this summer and some of the crews actually like it better since they can flip a switch and be done. A handfull of DFD rigs only have the Q control on the officer side adding to their already long list of things to do while enroute.
TR1, TR27, E14, E21, E22, E24 & E25 only have electronic sirens with no Q. Out of those, all but 14 & 22 have the 4 speaker configuration. Engine 21's point directly to the side which blows out the ears of anyone on the sidewalk. Their station sits within one of Denver's most popular parks so you get a lot of nasty looks when you drive though running hot.
Newer E25 with 4 speakers, different angle.
