Quote:One of the old Seattle KW hose wagons is for sale on Ebay. I'm pretty sure this is the very last KW that was in service with the department. What an awesome rig! I hope somebody preserves this.

Thanks for posting this Bryce!
It's a sad end of an era.
Seattle Fire Department Apparatus #321, unceremoniously stricken from the books and sold on Ebay.
Delivered in 1970, the Kenworth 1750 GPM triple combination pumper, was equipped with a 3000 GPM Stang, with body work by Heiser, and purchased for $63,776.50 through L.N. Curtis Co.
After being assigned to Engine Company 1 from April through July of 1971, 321 served mostly in West Seattle until 1995 at Fire Stations 36, 32 and 11. 321 was then converted, by the shops, into a large diameter hose tender and on August 4, 1996, was designated as Hose 18.
