That's a start! I'm guessing 9 next year as well, and 6 the following year, depending upon the budget?!
I'm assuming that when they've bought 24 pumpers that they'll be keeping 1 quint in each of the 6 battalions and 1 Hook & Ladder in each of the 6 battalions?

Sounds valid to me. Yet, it's ALL dependant on the budget. There may be less engine houses and fewer men on the truck shortly. It's all how much public safety Mayor slayer is going to cut. The airport director has already gone against STLFD, the Chief, local 73 and 2665, and all of the surrounding departments on closing the 3rd firehouse at the airport. Which means 15 firefighters and 2 captains will be sent back to the city.
I think it's fair to say that there will be at least one quint per district. If they are going to add another H&L is unknown. If I find out more, I'll be sure to fill you in.
