Anyone know why Beverly went with a quint?

While I'm not a Beverly FF, I do know this...starting around 2003 the city cut back on overtime, putting Ladder 1 out of service at HQ much of the time, leaving Engine 5's quint in North Beverly the only ladder in the city. Now the new quint runs out of headquarters, with Engine 1 going out of service instead, and the new Truck 1 acting as a jack of all trades in downtown.
If anyone else has anymore info feel free to chip in.
