Does KCFD still have that Sutphen midship aerial in service? If memory serves it was Truck 9 near the West Bottoms neighborhood.

Jamie,



Third and Last KCFD Sutphen Tower



The west bottoms Sutphen was Truck 6 with Pumper 9, High-Rise 102 at Fire House 7. It is now out of service at the Fire Academy. Truck 6 has had two Sutphens over the years. The first was a Lime-Green 1979 85ft and second was a 1996 White over Red 100ft. The 1979 was repainted White over Red in 1990 it served Truck 6, very short at Truck 5, then Truck 11 never entered reserve and was disposed of around 1999. The 1996 was at Truck 6 then reassigned to Truck 13 it too never entered reserve and is awaiting disposal at the fire academy. She is out back this photo was last Summer. She is in a snow drift right now.



Stay Safe,

Rick
