This 1984 GMC / General originally served as a Cherry Hills Village FD unit prior to thier merger with Castlewood. This unit became Heavy Rescue 32, then 35 and is shown with it's original "South Metro" markings. At the time, the name South Metro was used by several departments for mutual aid & training. Some of the specialty units were labeled with "South Metro" since they were a shared resource, they also had four stripes on the side which represented each department involved; Red for West Metro, Green for Englewood, Blue for Castlewood and Yellow for Littleton.
