Kansas City Kansas Fire Department

EX Truck 7

Note: Now at a storage lot in Hillsdale, KS Miami County



1984

Pierce Arrow/ LTI

# E2234-02

0000/000

100ft Ladder



Note: They did carry supply line for large fires so they could forward lay from the Pump. However KCK has a long history of purchasing real dry Truck Companies. This is still true with Truck 1,7,14 currently being dry.



Note: Damage to fly section from being driven under a low canopy. Until this happened they were planning to keep 7-Truck as the spare ladder. Instead old Truck 2 ex T-10 was kept as the spare ladder.

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.)
