Important Milestone had been reached in the State of Kansas. In the next few months all Fully CAREER Fire Departments in the State will be some shade of RED. Since Coffeyville, Kansas Fire Department has decided after Twenty-Six years to return to RED Fire Apparatus. They were the last CAREER department in the state using yellow fire apparatus. Although they never reach full yellow since the Brush Rig and Haz-Mat were red.
Another note Gardner Department of Public Safety has been dissolved and fire operations have been contracted to Johnson County Fire District One. Thus ending Gardner's twenty-six years of Public Safety and Lime-Green. This now leaves only one public safety department in Kansas.
Coffeyville is replacing Engine 12 (E2) below a 1990 Ford-Cargo/ Central States with Haney LDH Hose Reel due to on going mechanical and body issues. They are planning to keep Engine 11 (E1) the 1985 Ford C-8000 Pierce Suburban since it is a more mechanically sound rig.
