Surrey switched suppliers in 1986, when they went across town and got Hub to build them this 1986 Mack with again, 1050/500 specs.

Canadian Forces Base - Halifax, Nova Scotia 2012 Fort Garry/Spartan Metro Star 1750/800/25x2
Unfortunately, the truck was prepared for its delivery trip at the time I photographed it (note wrapping on the pump panel, lights, etc. Sorry about that.

@ Dave, I thought CFB Halifax E1 recieved a 2010 Model. (Based on a photo Ihave.)
Canada Eh? - Big Dave - 04-26-2012
Tim,
You are absolutely right. I am not sure how the base fire department is organized but I believe it is a regional service that has stations at the dockyards and an airbase. Perhaps, one of our members from the area can provide a more definitive answer.
Canada Eh? - atlanticfiretrucks - 04-26-2012
CFB Halifax is home to Canada's "Atlantic Fleet" There are Fire Services located at the Dockyards, where the Warships and Subs are docked, also at the "Ammunitions Depot" in Bedford there is a station with 1 possibly 2 pumpers. There is also fire protection at 12 Wing Shearwater, which houses the local Sea King Helicopters and is the airbase for CFB Halifax. 12 Wing houses a couple structural pumpers, rescue, range trucks as well as ARFF units. The Dockyards have 2 pumpers, and the Bronto, possibly a Rescue.
As far as specific details go, I couldnt tell you. In almost 5 years I havent been able to gain access to the dockyards or 12 Wing. Where as the ammunition depot station you can see from the road. Most of the time, there are apparatus at the "fleet center" which repair the vehicles for CFB Halifax. I am going to make another strong effort this year to photograph these rigs.
Corrections welcome.....

Good Luck. Military Bases can be some of the hardest or oddly the easiest to photograph.
Canada Eh? - atlanticfiretrucks - 04-26-2012
I think its hit or miss. I went to CFB Gagetown in New Brunswick and had all the rigs pulled out and posed, spent most of the afternoon with the guys and they even gave my 2 boys rides around the base in one of the trucks. Great group of guys there!
Now everytime I have been to the Dockyards in Halifax, Ive been shot down like a SCUD missile! Ive gotten "shots of opportunity" when the trucks have been out and about, but thats mostly 95% luck!
Canada Eh? - Guest - 04-27-2012
That Halifax truck is one of three that were purchased maybe 6 months ago. Not a clue where the other two are going.
Canada Eh? - Big Dave - 04-28-2012
there is a Fort Garry/Spartan Metro Star side-mount pumper nearly ready for CFB-Esquimalt.
Canada Eh? - Guest - 05-12-2012
This is the Fort Garry engine that is headed off to Esquimalt that Dave mentioned in the last post. I neglected to get specs for this rig as the driver was in a bit of a hurry, but he was kind enough to stop for a couple of minutes so I could photograph it.
Canada Eh? - Guest - 05-12-2012
I wanted to post a few more photos of apparatus that are no longer on the roster of Surrey B.C. These photos represent some of the aerial trucks that they once operated. Ladder 1 at one time was this 1973 Thibault International 100' MM
Canada Eh? - Guest - 05-12-2012
This 1983 Pierreville Spartan 100' ladder also had a 1050 pump and 300 gallon water tank.
Canada Eh? - Guest - 05-12-2012
This 1989 Thibault Freightliner FLA 1050/300/100' had the crew enclosure added some years after it was delivered, and was repainted red in another refurbish at a later date.
Canada Eh? - Guest - 05-12-2012
This is how it looked after it got all shiny!
Canada Eh? - Guest - 05-12-2012
Pump 5 at one time ran this 1990 Thibault Freightliner FLA 1500/500/55'. This was one of the last trucks out of the Thibault plant before the reciever stepped in.
Canada Eh? - Guest - 05-12-2012
Until recently Surrey operated this 1992 Anderson built 135' Bronto with a 1250 pump and 300 gallon water tank.
