For the second time in the history of the Wichita Fire Department, the color of apparatus was changed from the traditional "Fire Engine Red" to a lime-yellow. The first instance was Brownewell's blue car. From this time on, only the new colored machines would be purchased and gradually the red fire truck will fade into the past - reminiscent of the old fire steed giving way to motors.
