Both of those departments have always put together and awesome fire truck. Looks like 2220 has a bumper turret. I know they put one on the tanker that is first in to spirit airport. Sharp looking trucks, but those pics looked photoshopped. lol

Thats because they are. If you bring both up and compare, the shadows, snow piles and flags are the same. Why would Pierce have to photoshop the trucks onto there driveway?

Has anyone seen the new Fairview (Heights) Crimson/Spartan Gladiator Classic aerial platform yet? I just discovered the other day under the "New Deliveries" portion of the website that this rig was delivered in November, if I remember correctly. Fairview's 1989 platform is for sale and the price has been reduced.
The Crimson photo shows the rig without striping or other graphics. I'm sure it looks pretty sharp now with those things since it's in service. Any photos, please post them!

Thanks Dave, Very sharp. Did St Charles leave it red or did it get a coat of the ugly lime-green?
Stay Safe Brother,

Ugly lime-green Rick. If fact while I was in the St.Louis County Fire academy way back in 1985 we used this rig for ladders class. It was still red but St. charles ruined it shortly after.
Thanks for posting the Wellston trucks, Dave. Its neat seeing departments dont exist anymore. Do you have anymore of area departments that are no longer?
Here are a few from non-existent Gardenville FPD. Gardenville merged with the Affton FPD in the early 80s and is now covered by Affton's 3 House. Pumper 71, 72, Rescue 7 and Car 705 respectively.
