During the 1970's when I shot all these rigs Montreal had three heavy rescue squads - 605, 609 and 613.
Rescue 605 - 1955 Montreal Shops-Diamond T. The unit had a large compressor onboard for air operated tools and fans.

Great shots, hard to believe they didn't outfit them with wooden cabs. I know it is cold in the winter!!

Platform 718 - 1962 Mussens-Trump-Ford 65 ft. This was Montreal's first elevating platform. When Montreal disposed of it in 1996 the boom was reused by Carl Thibault on a 1996 Ford LS-8000 for Berthier, Quebec Fire Dept.
