Crash, Inferno at Kansas Race in '74 Recalled
"There was no fire truck because, according to the July 29, 1974 edition of The Hutchinson News, race promoter Jack Merrick and the Reno County Fire Department hadn't been able to agree on financial terms. Thus, anyone who had access to fire extinguishers were called on to battle the blaze and help any trapped drivers."
