Believe the department is Mooresville, N.C.

This is Mooresville, North Carolina's Engine 3. Mooresville is known as Race City USA because of its large concentration of NASCAR teams that are headquarted in the city. This truck is the first due engine to DEI Headquarters (Dale Earnhardt Incorporated) which is located on, believe it or not, NC HWY 3 (it was renumbered after Dales death). This is the reason for the Earnhardt style 3 on the truck. Also notice on the upper body of the truck the black E that has the large 3 over top of it. I am not 100% sure but I believe there are two of these Sabers in service in Mooresville. Mooresville, like most of the Charlotte Metro area, is growing at a record pace and has atleast two new stations planned for the near future. One will be covering the new Lowes Home Improvement headquarters.
