I found out this weekend the current order is planned for nine pumpers and one truck. This plan will phase out the current 75ft Quints in the fleet and reopen one more Truck Company as Truck 5. Their is also discussion of opening Truck 6 later in the year. Prior to the 1980's Wichita operated eight Truck Companies. It will be nice to see the pure simplicity of a Pumper and Truck fleet again. I am sure Andy will have more to add as information becomes available.

Do you know if they are planning to phase out more squads? Any word if they were ever able to order a new HazMat unit?
