[quote name='Paramedic_IL' post='44322' date='Oct 16 2006, 21:17 ']Whats with the different paint scheme on St. Louis Fire's Hook and Ladder 6. I have seen the conventional paint scheme on a few of the Hook and Ladders but that one seems to have different white stripes.[/quote]
When the city aquired H&L 6 we still were using the 1987 Pierce arrow and lti rigs, i am pretty sure it was basically a tryout for E\-One, to see if we wanted to get E\-One rigs. the paint scheme is a one off for our department, another attempt at trying new things. the E\-One rear mount at H&L 6 replaced the sutphen we used to run out of the downtown station. H&L 6 is stationed downtown and runs with Engine 2 and BC 802. The shops are also located on the south side of that station.
