This pump has not met the expectations of the department. It was rejected at delivery due to the body not meeting specs. It was returned to Florida and reconfigured and returned. It was ordered with beside the tank ladders and was delivered with a ladder rack oops. They told me has not filled the shoes the 1980 MACK MC Engine 2 left behind.

Thank you to Mr. Martinelli for the Mack vin-mfg number and corrected pump size.

Fort Scott, Kansas Fire Department is located one hour south of Kansas City on US Hwy 69. Fort Scott is home to the Fort Scott operated by the US Park Service. Fort Scott Fire Department protects a extremely old city most downtown buildings date in the 1800's. The fire department currently answers from two fire houses with only four career firemen on duty each day with a total department strength of thirteen. The second fire house opened in 2009 and the city choose not to increase staffing thus reducing Engine 1 from four to two firemen staffing.

This unit was sold to McPherson, Kansas as an emergency purchase to replace their 1975 Oshkosh/Pierce/LTI 85ft Tower. The 1975 had been refurbished by RK Ladders in 1999ish and had the LTI removed and a RK 85ft Tower Ladder placed on the rig. The rig began to have mechanical issues forcing retirement.

Talking with the MFD guys they are excited to have a real Federal Q siren again after a Thirty year gap. When they were discussing the new Truck Company that was their first request. The Arrow makes a super sharp rig. I looked the machine over at Conrad when it was a demo. Very nicely designed for Truck work, it should serve them well for the next thirty years. Thanks again for posting Andy.
Stay Safe,

Here are a few photos from Montgomery County Kansas Fire District One. They provide Volunteer Fire-Rescue-First Aid to the majority of unincorporated Montgomery County, Kansas from Seven Fire House's. They do have a career Fire District Coordinator that oversees the budget and meets with the fire board. Each fire house has a fire chief. I will keep this short, other wise I will send you in to a Brush Truck Comma.
