Thanks for the info, Rick
I love the ST. Louis solid red a new black over red paint scheme for the city would be cool looking, with Q's of course. Any tillers comming?[/quote]
Im not really sure what the reason was that Normandy's ladder was sold. It wasn't very old, maybe only a couple years. I think it went somewhere in canada. I can ask someone from there if they know and get back to ya. They run 2 Pierce Enforcer pumpers 4714 and 4724. One of them is dedicated for mutual aid calls. One has a deputy chief that rides the seat on the other. There was some talk about getting another ladder truck, but they have MANY other issues to iron out before they do that. They run THREE ambulances now from their engine house. They are an interesting place right now, as they have part time people that man some of the ambulances. But I'll let you google the Northeast Fire Protection District and let you figure it out.
As for EMS/Fire, Fire/EMS, some entities have done that recently when they have changed their department names. We've got Fire Districts, Fire Departments, a Dept. of Public Safety. I guess it just sounds better to be xxxxx ems and fire protection district than an fire and ems protection district. Many departments ecompass more that then name that is on their trucks (i.e. Metro West Fire District was the Ballwin Fire District . But they cover about a half dozen smaller communities other than ballwin). Central County Fire/Rescue in St. Charles used to be the St. Peters Fire Protection District and The St. Charles Fire Protection District. That can be your answer for the Metro North question as they were Moline up til a few years ago.
As for St. Charles, I don't know if they still have that older Pierce ladder. They did just put in service a new 75ft Pierce ladder, ID 9432. They have been been trying over the past couple years of having 2 ladder trucks. But one or the other was breaking. I beleive this new ladder was a floor model from Pierce.
And I hardly doubt you will see any TDA's on the streets of st. louis.
Hope something above helps.
