Kansas City area fire apparatus

[MFD76]

[quote name='Ladder 68' post='319647' date='Jul 7 2009, 17:00 ']Any chance that KCK T14 was once assigned as T01? Ask because I thought T01 had a '99 E\-One Hurricane 100' also.



And I notice the designation "P" is on the side and obviously stands for "Pumper", but are they referred to as "Pumpers" or "Engines" on the radio?



Thanks in advance.[/quote]



Hi Chief,



KCKFD has three Trucks all identical 100ft E\-One Hurricanes. I believe but I might be off a year Truck 1, 14 are 1999's and Truck 7 is a 2000. These are the only three Trucks left reduced from six Trucks. The other three are now 75ft Quints, two quints stand alone and one is at a double company.



On the Radio they are Pumpers in KCK and KCMO. Most of the the Missouri suburbs use Pumper and the Kansas suburbs use Engine. It is funny KCK and KCMO both through the 1960's called them Engines but then switched to Pumper. I prefer Pump and Wagon but in the day and age of the triple combnation pumper I prefer Engine.



Stay Safe, Rick
