This pictorial history portrays the department's rich history and exemplifies why its motto is \"Justifiably Proud.\" The St. Louis Fire Department history is one of leadership and innovation. It was one of the first departments to purchase a 100' aerial ladder truck. It was also one of the first to establish an academy for the study of fire and the training of fire fighting recruits. In 1987, the department was the first in the nation to use a \"Total Quint Concept,\" which combined the traditional fire truck and hook and ladder truck into one piece of equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 130\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.38 x 9.61 x 6.69 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 12, 2003\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52625356685619,"sku":"9781531617868","price":41.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/WEpBNnp2c0ZwZWFpMWtiU1ZkUGRjZz09.webp?v=1762037901","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/st-louis-fire-department-hardcover","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
