Spartan Luvern Lear II, I believe this one was the 2002 model. It was the only one with Da Booster on the bumper. Originally delivered with a Big Whelen Executor Siren on the drivers side bumper recessed. That is why the siren speaker has tread plate around it. I remember them pulling in the Academy with the Bell Function Ringing, They were poking fun at the Executor, but who wouldn't. Engine 2 was the only rig with Executor, it did not prove to be popular and the department returned to standard electronic sirens for the next few orders. They have added a second electronic siren speaker. The Q siren is a recent addition. Topeka did not use mechanical sirens for the better part of thirty-five years. When Aerial 5 was delivered in 2007 with a Q siren. All of the other companies began to request them.
