Canada Eh?
[quote name='Big Dave' timestamp='1315101736' post='455480']

what kind of detail photos of the range trucks would you like? There are still a few that are awaiting delivery so I should be able to photograph whatever you wish. Please let me know. Rob, mia culpa. As I stay at a hotel in Claresholm and depend on sunny weather, it is hard to determine where I will be in advance. I will try to make a point of contacting you before my trip next year.

This is my first post on this website. Have only been photographing apparatus for the last couple of years seriously. As Big Dave mentioned in an earlier post, I had the privilege of spending some time with him in August while he was making his way west across the prairies. Learned lots from the guru of fire apparatus photography, and found our way into halls and getting rigs driven out that I did not think would be possible. Will not forget Olds for while!! Photographed a good number of rigs during our time. Here is another new unit that Airdrie took delivery of from Pierce - a 2010 100' Rear Mount Platform Aerial, 1750GPM / 250GWT / 40F on a Velocity chassis, Pierce Job #22867, Shop # 2307. Captain Mike Pirie was a great host.

thanks for all the kind comments. Tim, I did not receive the email. John, it was my pleasure to spend a few days buffing with you. We had a lot of fun and good photographic opportunities. I too will remember our experience at OLDS for some time!

Is that Calgary truck going to be full time staffed, or crossmanned?

A few of the rigs operated by the Montreal Auxiliary Fire Department (the Buffalos), who operate the Montreal Fire Museum, restore antique vehicles and provide rehab on fire scenes (with 2 mobile canteens and a mobile first aid vehicle seen below).

That will be interesting.... especially if EN10 is pulled on a second alarm downtown. Unless they are staffing it 24/7.

thanks Tim. It has taken me a few tries to master this new computer - and I use the term master with extreme caution! Anyway, John (In Calgary) and Terry (in BC) seem to be a little slow in posting some photos so here are a few more. Calgary, Alberta received 17 or so new pumpers from Rosenbauer in late 2010. E 12 is one of them. 1500/560/30

while in the Vancouver area, I had the opportunity of accompanying Shane and Bob ( 2 Vancouver fire fighters who are also extraordinary fire buffs/apparatus photographers) to the local SVI dealer. There we photographed this new rescue going up to Fort Nelson in Northern BC. 2011 SVI/Spartan Gladiator s/n #794 It has a 60 gallon TRIMAX CAFS on board. The cab has a fridge, microwave and coffee maker. We were told that runs of 8 hours are not uncommon (4 hours each way).
