Air Wagon 1 from Fire House 47 at the Fire Acadmey/ Fire Shop complex. Air 1 is always staffed with one FAO Fire Apparatus Operator. Air 1 makes all working fires, High-Rise alarms, tech rescues, and Haz-Mat alarms for Air Compressor-Light-Power-Rehab. One of the rather unique designs with this new air wagon is it carries plywood and dementional lumber with battery operated power tools. It responds on all confined space-trench-collaspe alarms with the three Rescues, and Rescue 75 tractor trailer.

 

The KCFD MSA masks have a KCFD spec UAC quick fill on the PASS alarm/Air gauge. The masks are 45min 4500psi bottles. This design was a direct result of the December 18th, 1999 4th Alarm LODD of highly respected Battalion Chief John Tevdten Car 106 from old Fire House 32. KCFD worked hand in hand with MSA for this change to be made and offered. During the Large Area Search Training LAST it was found this option was desired for RIT operations. At fires the members walk to the rear and the FAO hooks them up and they quick fill off the system. They can also do a traditional bottle fill in the air containment compartment at the rear.
