Kansas City area fire apparatus - MFD76 - 04-21-2011
Received word today that Lenexa, Kansas is in the very early stages of developing a spec/plan for a Pierce Tiller PUC purchse. This new unit will replace the barely used 1990 E\-One Hurricane 95ft Ladder Tower currently at Truck 93 (reserve). The tiller will most likely go to fire house one as Truck 91 and the current 2002 E\-One Hurricane 95ft Ladder Tower at Truck 91 will replace the 1990 at Truck 93 (reserve).
Some of you know Lenexa does not currently staff a Truck. Both Trucks are some what reserve Truck 91 primarily filling for Quint 91 when it is out of service and Truck 91 is in service every Thursday to keep the drivers familiar. Truck 93 the 1990 with a whoping 9,000 miles is considered the reserve truck although never used.

My heart sinks having to post this. This is the first large quint purchased by Kansas City, Kansas ending a tradition of dry Truck Companies. Currently this will be assigned with Pumper 14 in Klam Park and the dry E\-One Hurricane will be come a reserve. Eng61ine and I have discussed the possibility of Truck 14 becoming a standalone Quint since Pumper 5,18,11 surround 14's. Then move Pumper 14 and Dry Truck 14 west to replace Quint 6 as Pumper 6, Truck 6. The union and firefighters are not happy about this rig having a pump.

Taylor, I totally agree. Can't be the old trottle's, pretty fail safe. They had a number of problems with Pumper 1's electronic trottle control pad. That is probably why they speced this set up, even though it's electronic too.

This unit in 1995 replaced the re-powered 1968 American LaFrance Pioneer I 1250/500 Reserve Engine 927. This was also the first Lenexa unit to use reflective striping. Shortly after delivery all units were striped with reflective. Lenexa has a nearly identical 1997 model in reserve as Reserve Engine 922 also.

Second KCFD Sutphen Tower
Kansas City, Missouri Fire Department KCFD
Truck 3
1990
Sutphen
1500/300
100ft Tower Ladder
Purchased as a Demo from the 1990 IAFC or FDIC. Last unit to be ordered Lime Green and with no Q Siren. Served its career at Truck 3 and I don't believe it was ever a reserve that I remember. A Q Siren was added in 1997 when all the Q-less rigs had Q sirens added by the shops. This rig replaced the White over Red Hendrickson-E\-One-Simon Snorkel.
1993-1996 was a great time period in KCFD history for the Truck Companies. Seven Trucks were Tillered, Two were Sutphen Towers, and Three were Sutphen Straight Ladders. Only the Towers had pumps during this period. Chief Fisher was a advocate of dry ladders and tillers.

After being removed from service with the KCFD (1998?), this tower was sold to Northeast Fire Apparatus (Now Command Fire Apparatus) in Landisville, PA. From there it was purchased by the Rohrerstown Fire Company in Lancaster County, PA as Truck 6-7 and served as one of the busiest trucks in the county until they sold it in 2007. It now serves in Neshannock, PA as Truck 158.

Rick, do you happen to have any info on the Central Platte FPD rigs that were involved in the head-on collision the other day, and the condition of the FFs involved?

Some bumps bruises, broken legs. The Fire Chief was driving the Pumper-Tanker No.90. They wrecked their 1997 Pierce Dash tandem axle Pumper-Tanker and their newer 2009ish Pierce Velocity Engine. It did a lot of damage to both machines and would not surprise me if both units were totaled. This accident did not surprise me, I thought it would have happened years ago. They are good guys, just an interesting department.
The Velocity passed the address and turned around. After turning around the Velocity and Dash collided while trying to both make turn into the driveway of the house that was on FIRE. The FIRE was extinguished.
Central Platte boarders the northwest side of Kansas City International Airport. Fire House One is in Platte City, Missouri. The Platte County seat. They are a volunteer department with two fire houses. They have always had an impressive fleet of Pierce machines. The gold leaf and murals on each rig is impressive.
