I was driving in downtown and rounded the corner of 9th and Broadway and saw Apparatus #31671 engine 3's frontline is now white over red !!! box_2565 is probably going ick (and other words) right now as he reads it anyone know why they gave it a new paint job?

Hi Bob,
You're right (ick)! My understanding is that there was a serious corrosion problem (so much for no rust!) with the pumper along with an issue that the paint was flaking off. When the apparatus was repaired it was also repainted with the white roof.
The only remaining traditional item on Cincinnati apparatus is the C.F.D. lettering which has been in use since the horse drawn era.
