Second KCFD Sutphen Tower
Kansas City, Missouri Fire Department KCFD
Truck 3
1990
Sutphen
1500/300
100ft Tower Ladder
Purchased as a Demo from the 1990 IAFC or FDIC. Last unit to be ordered Lime Green and with no Q Siren. Served its career at Truck 3 and I don't believe it was ever a reserve that I remember. A Q Siren was added in 1997 when all the Q-less rigs had Q sirens added by the shops. This rig replaced the White over Red Hendrickson-E\-One-Simon Snorkel.
1993-1996 was a great time period in KCFD history for the Truck Companies. Seven Trucks were Tillered, Two were Sutphen Towers, and Three were Sutphen Straight Ladders. Only the Towers had pumps during this period. Chief Fisher was a advocate of dry ladders and tillers.
