Helped to place the Four Truck Company's back in full regular service along with some other adjustments. For a long time the Truck Company's were cross staffed with some of the squads. In 1975 the WFD had Eight staffed Trucks by the early 2000's only four were left and they were cross-staffed. Quints and Squads lead to the demise of the Truck Company.
Now:
Truck 1 with Engine 1
Truck 2 with Engine 2
Truck 3 with Engine 9
Truck 4 with Engine 16

Yes what Rick said is correct. Like every other city Wichita is tightening up a little bit. That being said they also have 3 Squads that are currently on track but only staffed if everyone is there. Those are Squad 3, Squad 5, and Squad 12. Wichita seems to change truck staffing "rules" every 6 months, but the Truck Companies have held up!
