Kansas City area fire apparatus

[Guest]

I was looking at the official Lawrence Fire Department website and the pics of the apparatus, and that particular shade of green on the older rigs is horrible! The new red apparatus look so much better. Actually, the older rigs, if painted red, wouldn't look too bad.



What's the reason that they're going from 3 quints down to 2? Cost savings or just no need for a third quint?
