[quote name='Image7801' post='295956' date='Apr 9 2009, 22:12 ']Great looking rig, but why does it say "Greeley Fire Department" on the aerial? Is there a change in the naming of the Department (Greeley FD vs. Union Colony)?
I lived in Greeley from 1987 to 1990, and was very fond of the good looking white rigs (lots of ALF 900's/1000's and Century's) during that time.[/quote]
Long story short, the City of Greeley wants more say in the administration of the department. Therefore, in 2010 or 2011 the Union Colony Fire Authority will cease to exist and the Greeley Fire Department will be reconstituted. The area outside the City of Greeley that is currently served by the authority will be served by both mutual aid from GFD and a fire protection district, the name of the other district escapes me (Platte Valley??).

Also, I believe that they are running an SVI squad that was the first piece delivered in the new color, although I think it's lettered as UCFRA.
