Nice photos, Eric. I was surprised that those two quints didn't last longer. Any particular reason that SMFR got rid of them so early, or were they older than I thought?

As I understand it the two quints and matching tower were all sold to off set the cost of purchasing the four 2006 Sutphens. Before the merger, 3 of the Sutphens were placed in frontline service and the fourth was used as a reserve immediately... So they didn't have a need for the E\-One's.
