Kansas City area fire apparatus - MFD76 - 05-25-2009
Lawrence Batt. 1 REAR
Kansas City area fire apparatus - Ladder 68 - 05-25-2009
So 1 of the '86 Pierce Lance pumpers, when new, was assigned to E3. Then that rig went to E1 and from there Reserve Engine 7?
And the other Was at E2 and from there to Reserve Engine 2?
Thanks in advance.

Sorry yes for the confusion
Engine 3 new 1986-1996, Engine 1 1996-2004 and Reserve Engine 7 2004-current.
Engine 2 new 1986-1994, Reserve Engine 6 1994-current.
Engine 6 did not serve very long front line due to Lawrence starting to change the sub-stations to Quints in the early 1990's. Also the 1967 Seagrave Reserve Engines were well worn by 1994 and they needed to be replaced. Althought they were very classic. After 1992 and 1994 there were two Pierce Suburban Ford C-8000's in reserve ex Engine 1 with Q siren and ex Engine 4 without Q siren.
Stay Safe, Rick

Current Quint 4 OFFICER SIDE
1992 Pierce Lance 75ft Tele-Squirt 1500/500
(very simlar spec to Overland Parks 1987 Pierce Lance 75ft Tele-Squirt)
This is the Quint that started the change to Quints in the Sub-Stations. It is called Franken-Quint due to ongoing issues since delivery. That is why it will not serve in reserve.

I understand sleepless days and sleepless night...amazing how a lack of a nap can mess up the whole shift...
On the issue of KCKFD...what companies do they have as far as companies, numerical assignments, etc?
Thanks in advance.

Note the pre-piped deck gun on this side. The officers side is pre-piped with a base-mount, however the ladder rack when it stows it covers the base-mount so no deck gun is mounted.
