Only Yellow rigs on KCKFD H-2, H-3. They have painted their Haz-Mat rigs yellow since the 1984 or 1986 Ford C-8000/ E\-One Walkin Rescue that used to be Haz-Mat 2. The first Haz-Mat unit was a converted 1959-1960ish International Boardman Pumper aquired when Shawnee Township was annexed into KCK in the late 1960's. A box was added and yellow slash mark strips were added. KCKFD had the first Haz-Mat unit in the KC Metro if not the Mid-West starting in the 1970's. KCK had and still to a lesser degree has a extremely large indrustrial base.



Note: Oddly both Haz-Mat units have E-Q2b's while the rest of the fleet runs REAL Q2b's. Extra note Pumper 8 and 17 Short Wheelbase Pumpers look like Midi's but are full size, have dual PA-300's with no Q2b siren. Due to these two problems and others the shop no longer specs the rigs.



Stay Safe, Rick
