I've got bad news and good news. Bad news is that museum is closed during M-Thur. We used to have more participation, but the numbers of firefighters that came have dwindled. So we are only open fri-sat-sun 12-8. We have FD related tshirts and hats. W have books, childrens videos, throw blankets, ff parrking signs. The only FD shirts we sell are STLFD shirts. We sell stickers, magnets, firetruck trading cards, other small, low-priced memorbilia. The space we have is donated by the mall. Our sales (donations) go to backstoppers and to the missouri burn camp.
For what I know in the st. charles area:
St. Charles City has an entire smeal fleet, except 9432 which is a Pierce ladder. The are now all black over red.
Cottleville has 3 E\-One rescue pumpers and a 100ft Pierce quantum platform
Central County Fire/Rescue has an entire Pierce fleet with th exception of some spares. They have 5 Pierce pumpers, 1 Pierce ladder and 1 Pierce platform. They recently passed a bond issue and they are in the process of hiring 9 firefighters. They are going to be updating their engine houses and working on replacing fire equipment.
Ofallon still has an eone fleet except the new ladder truck which is a Pierce quantum.
Hopefully that helps.
