This & That from Here & There
   Our next stop was the Four Oaks FD, which I mistakenly wrote down in my notes as Fair Oaks.  Thanks to "Engine504Driver", corrections have been made.  One engine outside, all the doors up, no one home.  Inside, we found an EMS employee who told us that "the crew was just out there testing hose".  We shot the engine that was sitting outside and they showed back up.

Wow Dave you found it. I wondered where this rescue went.  This was actually Junction City, Kansas about 2.5hours west of Topeka home of the Army Big Red 1 at Fort Riley. Thanks for posting great photo. 

 

JCFD had a pretty standard RED fire department staffing two Pumps and cross-staffing the Aerial Ladder for commercial fires and staffing the Geary County Ambulances. They added a second fire house in 1999 and purchased a new RED Pump and this White Rescue. The rescue replaced a Ford F-Series squad/brush buggy. The new outside fire chief at the time wanted a Rescue Concept, seemed to be a fire service fad at during that time. He also wanted the Rescue to standout from the fleet since they used a mix of city, county, and county ambulance funds. He operated this rescue first out of fire house two and placed the Aerial there only for fires. It was quite interesting on fires as they would cross-staff and bring the Rescue and Aerial with two pumps responding from fire house 1. The rescue would respond for all fire stills and ems. This rescue concept and the rescue were not embraced by the firemen. I remember the color was a big sticking point with the firemen.  That Chief had a short lived career at JCFD and when he left so did the Rescue concept. The rescue became a secondary unit only for entrapments until they could sell it. They replaced it with a RED Pierce Arrow XT rear mount pumper. They currently run two Engines, one at each fire house and the Aerial from fire house 1.
