One of two. The paid men would store their turnout gear in the gear bags tied to the pump walkway. Liberal at one time not long ago ran two fire houses with two paid men each. These E\-One/ GMC Top-kick's were the front line engines. I believe the paid staffing is higher now. Rick

I'm not sure on the actual number of FF's on duty, If memory serves correctly there were about 6 of them present when I was taking those pictures... There is what looks like a new or close to new station in Liberal. I haven't had time to invesigate more, but it looks like the City of Liberal and the Seward County Fire Department are all housed in one building now. I could be wrong. Next time I'm up in Liberal i'll be sure to get some photo's and information.
