NOTE: This was the first and last new pumper purchased by the Johnson County Airport Authority for Industrial Airport Fire Department. It was paid for with 75% FAA fund and 25% Airport Authority funds thus requiring the ugly green color. They wanted RED. When delivered in 1990 it replaced an open top 1957 International R-General Navy pumper that was RED. A Fire Captain of the Airport Fire Department picked up the cab with chassis in Ottawa, Kansas at the factory and drove the unit to E\-One in Florida for completion.



Chief Tackett who later served St. Peters, MO Fire District demanded Ottawa Truck built this unit with an open canopy and NOT four door. I believe this was the only open canopy cab ever built by Ottawa Truck. This is why the cab has sliding windows in the jump seat because it was built as a four door and cut down by Ottawa Truck.



Also besides Ottawa, Kansas Engine 1 1990 Ottawa-Beck this is the only other Ottawa in Kansas. The Federal Q siren was added later after delivery. It also was delivered with a Federal Cross-Fire Light and four RED Flashers on the cab face.
