Fire in a Building Liberty, MO 200 N 291HWY 05-25-14 (KCFD Auto-Aide)

[MFD76]

Awesome photos.  Love this kind of stuff.

 

Curious why the numbers on the doors don't match the number of the rig?

City Shop number and Clay County radio number. Each department in Clay County has a county assigned number for inter county mutual aide. However they are not on a common communications system (a long story). With that said Liberty for a short time in the 1980's used the 600 series every day. That changed about 1987 and they returned to the traditional numbers and clear text. When they go mutual aide now they just say Liberty Pumper 2 or Liberty Truck 1. The only machines left with the full 600 numbers affixed area Pumper 2, Pumper 3 and the four ambulances. Truck 1, Tender 1, Brush Buggy 1, BC do not display the 600 numbers only the shop numbers. Pumper 2 and Pumper 3 have the 600 number on the cab front right side and body rear right side.
