Any idea why the LTI ladder was called a Squrt as opposed to a Quint, looks like a 75'?

I'm not sure really, they called it that when it was delivered in the mid 80's and I'm guessing that Quint wasn't in the local fire vocabulary at the time. I think eventually it was called a Quint since it had basically the same specs as the 75' Pierce. I'll ask around and try to find more details.
