For the life of me I've never understood what's wrong with simply saying Anytown Engine 1. Some times it seems like people simply want to justify their existence by dreaming things up.

With the amount of departments in the St. Louis Metro and the excellent mutual aid agreements, a more organized numbering system was needed.
The new Pacific 6114 was ordered with Valley Park 1924. The main difference in the two trucks will be Valley Park has a raised cab (and of course color.) Both trucks are 1000gal water and 30gal foam. Pacific now has two nearly identical Pierce Arrows inservice as 6114 and 6124.
Here is 6114 taken with cellphone by FF/EMT Creamer.
