Good pics, Dave, and as usual a good time had by all at FDIC! This was my 14th year in a row attending and I wouldn't miss it for the world. For anyone reading this that has never attended FDIC, do yourself a favor and go next year. I believe it's the 3rd week in April 2012??? Somewhere around there. You won't regret going, I promise! The Indianapolis firefighters are second-to-none when it comes to hospitality.



OK, in St. Louis area fire apparatus news, the Webster Groves Fire Department has just taken delivery of a 1998 Pierce pumper, which will replace their reserve 1989 Seagrave pumper. I found out about it today from a WGFD firefighter. He said they just got it 3 days ago from a department in New York but doesn't know if it's an Arrow, Dash, or Lance. Preliminary plans call for running it as 2024 for a month so they can get used to running/operating it. It won't go in service for a few weeks yet, and as far as I know it's at WGFD Station # 1 as of now.



I appologize, but I do not have pictures of it and I have not seen it, but this is the information I've been given. If anyone gets to Webster Station 1, please take some pics of the new 2090 and post them on here. Thanks in advance!



Webster Groves is also specing out a new 75-foot quint to replace 2015, a 1999 Pierce Dash. It should be on order by the end of this year.
