It was the less damaged although totaled. Pumper 30 was in between the explosion and Pumper 41. Pumper 30 was vaporized not much left at all. Pumper 30 sheilded Pumper 41 that is why the shell was left of 41's. After the explosion 41's took Quint 42 a 1979 Seagrave 100ft and Squad 42 a 1979 E\-One/Chevy C65 Midi-Pumper and the new 1990 E\-One Protector went to become Pumper 42. Pumper 41 was restablished in 2006 when all Quints were disbanded and disposed of. Truck 8 was moved from 37's to 41's during 2006.



Pumper 30 was assigned a Mack MB in 1976 and very well could have recieved one of the seven 1987 E\-One Hurricane's or a E\-One Ford C model. I really can't remember what they had. After the explosion they ran #120 the 1971 Seagrave then they received a 1990

E\-One Protector.[/quote]



There must have been more than seven of the 1987 E-Ones. I have a roster that was faxed to me by the Kansas City FD in February of 1994 and they still listed seven 1987 E-Ones on their roster then. They were assigned in 1994 to Pumpers 4, 19, 10, 23, 12, 2 and 9 in 1994 (dept #s 3204-3207 and 3209-3211 respectively). That would seem to leave 3208 as the E\-One that was destroyed (and it being at least the eighth 1987 E\-One).
