They have fairly new apparatus. I saw a while back they have twin E\-One engines. I think they are 200?'s. Im not sure what the Truck Co is. Whenever they need a truck it seems like they call an StLFD unit across river.
Even with the Casino, the city is poor and very corrupt. They FD and PD could use more funding from somewhere.
