This pictorial history portrays the departmentís rich history and exemplifies why its motto is ìJustifiably Proud.î The St. Louis Fire Department history is one of leadership and innovation. It was one of the first departments to purchase a 100í 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. ÝÝ
