Below are some photos that capture the history of this unit. The first image shows the fire truck as it was used by the Soldier Township FPD in Kansas. It had previously been stationed in Illinois with the Troy Fire Protection District.
The next two images show the same 1985 Pierce Arrow when it was still serving the Troy Fire Protection District in Illinois. These pictures give a nice look at how the unit appeared during its time in Illinois before being transferred to Kansas.
It's always interesting to see how these older units have moved between departments over the years. This one has a solid history and is a great example of a classic Pierce Arrow model that served multiple communities.
