One of Three purchased in 1954 by the Shawnee Township Fire Department in Wyandotte County, KS. In believe all three were General's. These Engine's served:



FH 1 now closed

FH 2 now KCKFD No.16

FH 3 now KCKFD No.17



One of the 1954's was moved to reserve in 1955 when a new International was purchased. The reserve was kept at FH 3 now KCKFD 17. These Engines along with the 1955 and the Fire House's were given to KCK in the 1967 Annexation of the Township. The Career Drivers and Fire Chief were given jobs with KCK in 1967. The 1954's are listed in the 1978 KCK History book as active reserve units. The 1955 was converted to the first KCK Haz-Mat unit.
