I haven't the slightest clue what they did to or why they skipped 57 and 58.

Not at the moment.  Eventually, I'm going to get back down there and get better photos.

Yes it does!  Thanks!  So it went from Bridgeport, to Nuttall, then to Mt. Hope and stayed yellow until about a couple of years ago.

When I first saw the Mount Hope pics a minute ago, I thought "That looks like the rig from Bridgeport, maybe I should dig out my shot and compare...."

What's with the differing paint schemes? Are they different companies or used rigs that they didn't repaint? (or neither)

Mt. Hope ran yellow rigs from the late 70s to around 2000.  When they bought their GMC/E-One, it was painted white with a blue stripe because white was the tradition with FDMH.  So therefore all new FDMH rigs got that paint job, and Rescue 53 was eventually repainted.  Ladder 59 came from Largo, FL and they never changed the paint jobs.  I'm not sure why they haven't repainted Engine 51 yet, though.   Ladder 59 is soon to be repainted with the current paint scheme and possibly Engine 51 will, too.
