Me and my good friend Andy Thomas have been working on our web site kansasfiretrucks.com. It has been a big task but has allowed me to gather some great photos from around the state. So I thought it might be nice to show some of what the Wheat State has to offer. Please add to this thread if you have any Kansas photos. Enjoy and stay safe,Rick
My favorite fire engine in Kansas has to be Manhattan, Kansas Fire Department Old Engine 1. With K-State moving forward in the NCAA I felt we should start with this pump. This rig was in reserve service until the late 1980's and then was stored by the department until the complete restoration was completed around 1995-1997. This is the pride of the department. Most of the original equipment was placed in storage over the years for the eventual restoration.
