Purchased new when the Town of Piper was annexed into KCK in 1992. Piper TWP Volunteer Fire Department was disbanded and KCKFD acquired their fire apparatus and fire house. KCKFD reestablished Pumper 8 in the Piper TWP Fire House. Pumper 8 was originally disbanded in the early 1980's. This machine was not a favorite and did not match any of the KCKFD custom fleet. It was needed for the 1000gwt and was a very basic purchase even without the KCK standard Federal Q2b. Originally the new 8's was rural. The area has rapidly built up since the opening of the Kansas Speedway. After serving at Pumper 8 it was moved to Reserve Pumper 92. Due to its popularity with the engine companies it has been assigned to training.
