KCFD retired Reserve Engine 1 or Reserve Pumper 1



This is an example of a bad idea with good intentions. When the first lease purchase was done in 1996 for Pumpers and Rescues they looked at the entire fleet and determinded the inservice Engines ranging from 1979-1995 were not suited for reserve service.

In 1997 KCFD took delivery of four E\-One/ Freightliner Engines for reserve use only. Three RP 2,3,4 were 1250/500 and RP 1 was 1250/1000. These proved to small and underpowered for even reserve use. One however was traded with the Cyclone II Pumper at Pumper 1 since they needed 1000gal tank in the area they cover. Now all are retired and gone.
