here is what I have for the latest series of Toronto rigs, in the order as posted:

A133  1997 Spartan G/Smeal  1500/400/105'  s/n #796110  (Shop #27013)

R133  1996 Spartan MS/Almonte  1050/500  s/n #10758  (Shop #25003)

Tk211  2005 FL-M2-112/Dependable  1050/2500/100  s/n #T348-1050250005  (Shop #30031)

S5435  1990 Int'l 4900/Dependable  (Shop #28006)

S332B  1990 Mack MR688P/Dependable  (Shop #28011)

A ???  see note below

S445  2005 Spartan G/Seagrave Canada (formerly Almonte)  (Shop #28013)

R341  1997 Volvo FE42/Superior  1050/500  s/n #SE1574  (Shop #224073)

P5245  1985 Mack MR686P/1987 Thibault  1050/500  (Shop #24085)

S5326  1984 Int'l C0-1950B/Mobile Tank Ind.  s/n #MTI-PK-1783-115

S143  1990 White GMC WX42/Dependable  (Shop #288004)

A5323  1985 Mack MR686P/1987 Thibault  100' MM  (Shop #26031)

A312  1985 Mack MR686P/1987 Thibault 100' MM (Shop #26011)

P131  1988 Mack MR686P/Superior  1050/300  s/n #SE869  (Shop #24027)

 

The Spartan G/Smeal aerial photographed with no markings could be one of several as this style has been ordered over multiple deliveries for many years.  As it was photographed at Toronto's fleet services yard prior to going into service in what looks like the same time period as the tanker and S445, I would think it might be one of the 2 - 2005 Spartan G/Smeals put into service that year (A312 or A426)

A312  1250/500/105'   s/n #5031190  (Shop #27026)

A426  1250/500/105'  s/n #508030  (Shop #27025)

 

Once again, the spare rigs proved a challenge and the Shop numbers may not be correct.  IIRC, Toronto had a large order with Pierreville for pumpers and aerials on Mack MR chassis.  When Pierreville went out of business in early 1985, Toronto retrieved their chassis and had Thibault complete the order.

 

Please also note that the newer Toronto rigs typically have pumps of 1750 Imperial gal. capacity (2000 US) that are de-rated to 1250 igpm at the time of their ULC certification.  As I understand it, this insures that they will always meet their rated capacity during their annual pump testing.

 

I hope this helps with your records.

   Last week, I joined fellow apparatus buffs John Degenhardt and Jack Mersereau for three days of shooting rigs in Florida.  I began the trip on Saturday morning, in the rain, travelling to The Villages, FL, where I spent the rest of the weekend with Ron Arnow.  The plan was to meet up with John and Jack early Monday morning.  On the trip down, the weather began to clear and I was able to get a few rigs.

   The primary purpose in the stops I made on Saturday was to gather missing information on apparatus that I had photographed there 20+ years ago, but I found additional apparatus that I had not yet photographed, so I took advantage.  My second stop was Crisp County Station 1 where I happened to catch four rigs.

   My final stop for the day was Valdosta, GA where I photographed one of their twin Sutphen pumpers.  The other, #HS-5214, is assigned to Engine 5.

   The next day, Ron and I headed east towards the coast.  We planned on hitting Volusia and Brevard Counties.
