Discussion about Squrts (tele-squirt)!

[JBE 328]

Engine Companies in St. Louis have 75 foot Quints, the Truck Companies are 105 foot Quints. There was talk it was going to change to one Quint per battalion(that was 2 years ago, when I was last out there). The way it was explained to me is on a Box alarm, it was something like 3 Engines, a Truck, and a Chief. If you were the second due Engine and you were closer than the Truck, you'd be operating as the first due Truck.
