Note: Originally delivered to OPFD with no deck gun, no Q Siren, or extended bumper, and Federal Red twin sonic light bar. OPFD later added a stanchion with a used four bolt mount Federal Q siren centered in the windshield, Note the bolt marks centered for the stanchion. In the early 1990's the bumpers were extended and the sirens moved to the bumper and aerodynic light bar was used. OPFD also placed deck guns on both pumpers and a gate valve is used just below the mount to open it no valve handle on the pump panel. Also the pictured pumper has a roll up door on the drivers side. This was done to demo the roll up doors before Quint 451 was ordered. The BP siren speaker on this pumper was replaced by OPFD in the last few years of service when the CP speaker stopped working also the Scat-o-ray light on the dash is the original warning light from the tail board. Both pumpers were painted in Pratt and Lambert paint like the KCK Pierce Fleet, they prematurely turned maroon like the KCK fleet. OPFD used Dupont Imron paint after these.



Note: The brother OPFD pumper was sold to Concordia, Kansas Fire Department Job #2030. It was used until last year. Unknown where it was sold too.
