Mike, St. Charles probably got a deal on it (I hope). You are right, it has been out of service a lot. STC does need a new ladder truck as the current Pierce is a ’10, and the reserve Seagrave is, I believe a ’98. I wish they would go back to being a Seagrave department, but I doubt that will happen anytime soon.
Also nice to see the broke department with the revolving door of apparatus, Fox River Countryside buying yet another worthless piece of apparatus.

Interesting that St. Charles purchases another Pierce ladder when the current Arrow XT has been a pile of doo doo.
