Wow Great job Steve, Thanks so much. This must have been written prior to the new 1989 75ft Sutphen Quint 10.



The two 1966 open top 70th Annv. Seagraves # 90, 93 still exist and are on the roster. I remember in 1993 one of them filling in at Pumper 12. I did a double take and stopped to admire the classic rig. Both had special shop built jump seats added in the late 1980's when the tail boarding stopped. They also had the Q siren and classic red MARS light on top of the nose with two Federal Pipe lights. The Ward LaFrance #91 was just like Engine 51 except no Q siren it went to Mexico. The Reserve Haz-Mat was a converted IH-Central pumper from the Shawnee TWP fire department annexaion in the late 1960's. It was convered in the 1970's to Haz-Mat. KCK had the first Haz-Mat in the metro if not the nation. It entered service in 1977 or 1978 as Haz-Mat.



Stay safe, Rick
