This was Quint 11 a 1977 Seagrave 100ft. In 1990-1991ish it was returned to a 1976 Seagrave 100ft Tiller as Truck 11. The first Quints were devlivered in 1977 and the a second order was delieved on the W cab in 1979. I believe there were four of each year. In 1990 Quints 11,13,28 ran 1977 Seagraves and Quints 8,12,41,38 ran 1979 Seagraves. These were by far some of the worst rigs ever purchased they were big heavy and hard to drive in tight streets not to mention Quints. Quints have never been excepted in the KCFD they are a tradtional Engine, Truck department. In fact in 1993 Quints 8,12,13 were convered back to Trucks 8, 12, 13 with the delivery of the dry 104ft Sutphen sticks. Truck 11 ran the 1976 tiller until 1997 when the took Truck 9's refurbed 1986 Tiller.



The reserve fleet was a 1964/1981 E\-One-Henderickson 75ft Snorkel, 1976 100ft Seagrave mid mount, and four 1976 Mack MB pumpers.
