I've always been delighted by the way SFD seems very systematic and consistent with its apparatus purchases, at least in terms of timing. Maybe it's just my perception but some companies get new rigs every 10-15 years, and others are always getting hand-me-downs (Engine 34), but its fairly even over time (instead of mass purchases all at once).
On the other hand, SFD has always been all over the place with purchases, from E\-One, ALF, Spartan/Crimson, and now Pierce. All they need next is an order of KMEs to complete their collection of heavy-duty rigs.
The summer I lived in Seattle (2006), the HQ was still in the old station on King Street, Ladder 1 was still the old Spartan/LTI, and they had just received the 2006 Pierce Arrow XT for Rescue 1, which is now refurbished as Unit 99 I believe...?
