  • Roger Ringer The overhead harness holders were invented by the Wichita Fire Department. They were also the first to motorize a piece of equipment.

  • Chrystyenne Mahr Those horses were awesome!!! Have seen videos of how they come out of their stalls and go right into position in front of the engine to be harnessed. Just amazing!!! A great story is about a Firehouse Horse called Twelve! A horse that had his hoof severed on a way to a call and that horse still pulled that engine to the fire!!! Unfortunately, he had to be put down. A true Firehouse Horse Hero!!!

Have you ever heard of this type of schedule?
The schedule was implemented earlier this month as part of the mayor's plan to reduce callback overtime in the city.

We're glad to hear you're OK, Chief. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
Chief Donald Farrell, 70, fell into a ditch while out for a morning walk ; he survived on rainwater and is doing OK.
