The St. Louis Update provides apparatus information pertaining to the St. Louis Fire Department, as well as news from the forty-three departments in St. Louis County, Missouri. Deliveries from the adjacent counties of Jefferson, Franklin, and St. Charles in Missouri as well as Madison, St. Clair and Monroe counties in Illinois are also periodically provided. The St. Louis Metropolitan area has an interesting mix of departments that range from fully paid city operations to all volunteer rural departments. There are also three airports in the region, an Air Force Base and a number of industrial facilities, all operating a diverse array of apparatus.
