Couple of questions Was Monarch 2216 ever in the St.Louis Fire Engine Rally, Because I dont think ive ever seen it their before., and Eurekas Pumper Tanker is sweet looking. to bad the weather was so damn crappy.[/quote]
Nope, 2216 has never made it downtown. I dont think they have gone down since they became Monarch. I know they went a couple years back when they were Chesterfield. The weather did put a damper on things.
I went out to Pacific to shoot their Pierce Dash ladder and their engine, but they both were outside with the cabs up getting looked at. Also the rain started back up again, so I decided to head back into St. Louis County.
After going by Eureka, Im starting to think about becoming a fire explorer with them. It sounds like it would be alot of fun and a great learning expiernce. I just dont know if I could balance being a Police explorer, fire explorer, work, then school when it starts back up. A friend of mine from school is a city FD explorer, he just graduated from high school and is now a volunteer with Eureka. I dont know what I should do, I have some thinking to do.
If I ask opinions on what I should do, I know 99% of you would say do fire explorers. I guess I'll get some more info on it and maybe attend a meeting or two.
