I just want to add a couple of other points about the enigines 24 and 31. The Rt 1 rocket was so named because it had been delivered with a rear end that was geared for a passenger bus, high speed, and thus the name Route 1 Rocket. I never drove it with this rear but they say it was the fastest rig on the highway. To the point of being dangerous so the shops changed the rear. (It still couldn't beat 11 to the south of Mt. Vernon though, PRIDE). The Fire Fox is unique in that not only the lighting is different but the compartments and pump panel are not standard county as well.
It was mentioned in an earlier post about a Rotoray being removed from the wonderful restoration our brother in Memphis has. County apparatus in that era did not come with Rotorays. It was not until later (middle '80s) when the patent was bought by a county Firefighter and he started to remanufacture the old light that they became standard.
