  Stripe and decals still to come. A couple of years ago Rockford was in very bad financial shape. The mayor got into a huge fight with the fire union over staffing levels. The union had in place crews of four and hizzhoner wanted three. Additionally the city could not afford to replace any vehicles. Well the Mayor lost! A part of the aftermath was that police and fire started to lease vehicles and apparatus. The new trucks (engines and aerial/quints) are very nice.

  Could use some paint, like maybe “Rockford FD,” & maybe add a stripe while we’re at it
