Still to this day, KCK Truck Companies (1,7,& 14) carry 100' of 4" LDH in a highside compartment on their rig for flypipe ops. They also carry a water thief inwhich more supply lines (3") can be added for more water. It has been stated from the current Fire Chief, that he would like to add an additional Truck Company (100' platform) to the fleet, running it out of Firehouse #6, along with a Pumper Company and disbanding Quint 6. (Don't look for any movement on that for awhile due to the economy.)

Eric that is great to hear. Remember when KCK had Five Dry Trucks at Truck 1,7,10,14,19 and the lone 75ft Tele-Squirt at Pumper 9 and 35ft Tele-Squirt on Pumper 2. Quints, they are like a Swiss Army Knife, they do a lot of different things but nothing well. But I know I am preaching to the choir LoL. KCK has not had an elevating platform since the two Snorkel Trucks long long ago.
