Found one of our long lost Gem's in Hutchinson. I remember this serving KCKFD as Truck 19 and then Reserve Truck 97. For a short stint in the early 1970's KCKFD did not order Federal Q sirens. I believe only this rig and the two WLF pumpers were missing Q Sirens by 1978 they had returned. This was delivered sold red and the white top was added around 1989-1990. This was one of only three to carry a white top in KCKFD Quint 10 Sutphen, Pumper 5 Pierce Arrow, and this ALF. The signature KCKFD yellow safety gate added to all open canopy rigs in the late 1980's. Unknown why it has L9 on it. KCKFD has always used T on the rigs and Truck on the radio. Is this the correct job number? I had to get it off the ladder.

City of Hutchinson, Kansas Fire Department



Hutchinson, Kansas Fire Department is fully career and since the early 1900's operated four fire houses with a fifth added in the 1950's. They originally operated five engines, two trucks, and one chief. In the Mid-1990's the trucks were disbanded in favor of a quint and two squads with Ladder One only making commercial fires. In 2001 Reno County Fire District Two also fully career was adsorbed by Hutchinson creating fire house six and seven. This was also the first time Hutchinson long standing career department was responsible for rural firefighting. With this added responsibility all new Engine's are equipped with 1000 gallon tanks in the future as the Smeal/Internationals are phased out the Custom Engines can be relocated. 2011 Hutchinson began returning to a Truck and Engine concept. Quint One is now booked in on all fires in the city and target hazards in the old Reno County Fire District Two area. Squad One was removed from service last month. Future Plans call for removing Squad Four from service creating permanent staffing for Truck Four and eventually adding an Engine with Quint One. See good things can happen. Refreshing to see more quints removed from duel roll service.

2005 was a record year for Hutchinson long time member Kim Forbes was promoted to Fire Chief. He returned the uniform to dark navy blue with badges from polo shirts and tan pants. He also recommended Federal Q Sirens should be returned on the new Quint and Engine with Bells and Roto-Rays.

These bolt on cast chrome numbers were used at one time on all Hutchinson Fire Apparatus. Sadly only Engine 2 and Engine 6 still carry the cast chrome numbers.
