Rick, excellent pics of the Monarch rigs!
I still remember when 2292 was brand new and lime yellow (and was then the Chesterfield Fire Protection District). Before going to the 4 digit numbering system in 1989, 2292 (formerly 2212) was 301. It ran out of the old Station 1 on Olive Blvd., which is now some Montessori school, not too far from the present Station 4.
I hadn't heard that 2292 was taken out of service and that 2230 was being replaced with a 75-foot quint. I hope that they stay with Pierce.
As far as you liking Brentwood's reserve pumper, now known as 2590, as they have finally gone to 4 digits like the rest of us, that rig will be gone in about a year. From what I've heard from a Brentwood firefighter, their new Pierce Quantum PUC should be arriving next June. And I'm assuming it's going to be a PUC, because he described it as being "boxy like University City's new Pierce", which is a Velocity PUC.
