The UBC Endowment Lands Fire Department operated a rescue configured to be a patient transport unit. Rescue 3 is a 1990 Cayal Craft Ford FXL with some Superior body work. This unit is still in service at UBC and is the only patient transportable truck operated by Vancouver Fire Rescue.

Another department very close to Vancouver but hard to shoot is the Sasamat Volunteer Fire Department. I managed to photograph several of their apparatus one sunny day while going for a drive into the mountains. Pumper 1 is a 1992 Hub Volvo FE 42 with 1050/800 specs.
Canada Eh? - Guest - 01-22-2011
Pumper 3 at Sasamat B.C. is a Hub built truck using a GMC T8500 chassis with 1050/800/15/15 specs.
Canada Eh? - Guest - 01-22-2011
Tanker 4 is one of two tankers on the Sasamat roster, and is a 1981 Columbia Remtec Ford F utilizing a portable pump and carrying 1500 gal. of water.

The newest piece of apparatus in Sasamat is C/R-5, a combined Command /Rescue truck on a Freightliner FL 80 chassis with ALF/Hub bodywork.

The University Of British Columbia in Vancouver operated their own fire department until Oct/1995, at which point Vancouver took over fire/rescue duties. In the summer of 1995, I managed to photograph the apparatus of the University Endowment Lands prior to the turnover of the department to Vancouver. The first engine up is E-3,a Thibault International Cargostar. Unfortunately, I can't find the specs for this truck.

I have this in my Thibault roster as a 1973 IHC CO/Thibault 625/400. I have it being sold to Woss, BC.

Big Dave could you please post your photo of the 2000 Sterling pumper owned by the Manitoba Fire Commissioner as well as other fire commissioner rigs and fire marshall rigs you have shot
Canada Eh? - Big Dave - 02-05-2011
The Office of the Fire Commissioner in Manitoba operates the Emergency Services College in Brandon, Manitoba where training is provided for fire fighters and EMT/Paramedics. Many pieces of fire apparatus are used in this training. In the event of a major disaster or forest fire, units and instructors/students may be dispatched. The following photos will show the current pieces and several older units.
