Rick, do you happen to have any info on the Central Platte FPD rigs that were involved in the head-on collision the other day, and the condition of the FFs involved?

Some bumps bruises, broken legs. The Fire Chief was driving the Pumper-Tanker No.90. They wrecked their 1997 Pierce Dash tandem axle Pumper-Tanker and their newer 2009ish Pierce Velocity Engine. It did a lot of damage to both machines and would not surprise me if both units were totaled. This accident did not surprise me, I thought it would have happened years ago. They are good guys, just an interesting department.



The Velocity passed the address and turned around. After turning around the Velocity and Dash collided while trying to both make turn into the driveway of the house that was on FIRE. The FIRE was extinguished.



Central Platte boarders the northwest side of Kansas City International Airport. Fire House One is in Platte City, Missouri. The Platte County seat. They are a volunteer department with two fire houses. They have always had an impressive fleet of Pierce machines. The gold leaf and murals on each rig is impressive.
