The tow vehicle for the fire safety house in Surrey is a conversion of a 1966 GMC pumper.
Canada Eh? - Guest - 03-17-2012
The fire department obtained several municipal gravel trucks that were surplus and had both HUB and ANDERSON convert them into tankers. Tanker 15 used a 1973 International chassis and had HUB rebuild it in 1981 into a 1500 gallon tanker with a 625 GPM pump.
Canada Eh? - Guest - 03-17-2012
In 1975 Surrey placed this Thibault built 1050/500 pumper in service. By the time I got around to photographing it, it was running as the hose/pump or 2nd out piece in the hall.
Canada Eh? - Guest - 03-17-2012
Hose/pump 10 was this 1976 International Hub built 1050/500 pumper.
Canada Eh? - Guest - 03-17-2012
In 1977 Hub supplied two 1050/500 pumpers to Surrey on Mack MB chassis.
Canada Eh? - Guest - 03-17-2012
One of the earlier rescue trucks that Surrey ran was this 1982 International S Anderson built truck.
Canada Eh? - Guest - 03-17-2012
Surrey's early brush rig or booster truck as it was dispatched was this 1974 shop equiped International 200 4x4 with a 95 GPM pump, 150 gallon water tank and little rescue boat on the roof!

E-2 of the Rural Municipality of Springfield, Manitoba 2012 Green Acres/Int'l 7400 1050/1000/30.
For those who found Post 1145 of interest, I was able to talk with the engineer from Green Acres yesterday. I asked him why this unit did not have a large dry chemical unit as have most of the oil patch rigs I have photographed over the years. Turns out that this unit is designed primarily as a shower/decontamination and vapour suppression unit with fire fighting a secondary purpose. The on-board water supply is used for the shower/decon activities. Any water for fire fighting is brought to the scene by water tankers.

Head lights are still were they normally are, I would hazard a guess at the one in the bumper are either driving or spot lights. Just my 2 cents.
Great shot
Canada Eh? - Big Dave - 04-04-2012
here is photo of CFB-Cold Lake's range truck that more clearly shows the headlight assembly in the front bumper. The traditional 3/4 view didn't really show this clearly. Sorry for any confusion created.

Something you dont see very often. Thanks for clearing it up

Nice pic Dave, do you know what other bases are slated to get these rigs? Have a nice Easter holiday!
Canada Eh? - Big Dave - 04-04-2012
thanks Joel and John.
To date, the range trucks have been built for and/or delivered to Canadian Forces Bases:
. in Alberta: Suffield, Wainwright and Cold Lake.
. in Saskatchewan: Dundurn
. in Manitoba; Shilo
. in Ontario: Petawawa
. in New Brunswick: Gagetown
None, either completed or currently on the floor at Fort Garry Fire Trucks are for any other bases to the best of my information.

I managed to scan a few more old out of service apparatus from Surrey. Hose pump12 (2nd engine out of the hall), was a 1979 Hub Mack MC 1050/ 500 engine.
Canada Eh? - Guest - 04-07-2012
Another Hose pump when photographed was HP 4 a 1986 Anderson built 1050/500 pumper on a Mack MC chassis.
Canada Eh? - Guest - 04-07-2012
Pierreville supplied this 1982 Mack MC pumper with 1050/ 500 specs. in 1982.
Canada Eh? - Guest - 04-07-2012
Another Mack, this one supplied by Anderson in 1985 using a Mack MC chassis, ran as P 8 for a while.
