Is Plainview returning to red? Why no Aerial Ladder? Do they have a neighboring department that has one? Have they ever owned one? Thanks in advance.

The current chief likes red. They have just ordered a new Rosenbauer engine which will arrive sometime in 2013.
The first white apparatus arrived in the spring of 1972 when two Mack CF engines arrived. Subsequently, everything except a 1930 Seagrave and a 1951 ALF 700 was painted white.
They do not have an aerial nor have they ever had one. I was told this is the case because of money-an aerial costs too much. They do have the need for one, though.
The closest department with an aerial is Lubbock which is 45 miles away.
