Kansas City area fire apparatus

[MFD76]

Now here is the odd duck out. This is what started the rescues in KCFD. It was built for Topeka, Kansas as a City Service Truck Company (four of Topeka's truck companies are city service trucks) and was rejected. At the same time KCFD Tiller Truck 9 a 1986 Seagrave was invloved in an accident and one of the reserve trucks ladder failed. The Chief liked the Topeka concept and saw a way to save money from pump testing for Pumper 11,12,31 all in double pumper houses and ladder testing for Truck 1, 9 and the Midi Quint concept was on its way out of KCFD in 1996. So this unit was purchsed as a trial, that is why it does not match any KCFD rescue. It has roll-up doors and no Federal Q2b siren both at the time Topeka trade marks. The two styles of KCFD Rescues were patterned after this rig.
