This pump opened the doors at the newly created Fire District 2 in January 1947 at the little fire house at 63rd and Mission Road. Fire District 2 was fully career from opening day in January of 1947. JC Nichols creator of the Country Club Plaza in Kansas City engineered Prairie Village as a starter community for soliders after WWII. It has become a very nice community. The Fire District was started due to state laws passing. The Mack shared quarters with a 1947 Chevy Central pump. This would be the start of five addtional pumps being purchased over the next thirty years 1C, 4CF's.
