I was in halifax when this truck was delivered and placed in service. Do you have any additional photos of Halifax apparatus from the 1960s?

Cool picture ! Never knew that Halifax had had a tiller.

 

Until what year was it in service ? It must have been in the last few tillers in service in Canada until Québec City put there's in service last year.

[atlanticfiretrucks]

Quebec City had an older tiller before they received their new one.  I believe there 1975 Kenworth K-100/Thibault was sold to Malbaie Que.  The Halifax rig was in service from 1966 until around late 80's possible early 90's.  It was then sold to Bridgewater Metals who wanted the truck for the body, im pretty sure the body was/is being used as some type of garden/farm tractor.  I am still trying to track it down.

Quebec City had a 1976 Kenworth / Thibault 100 foot tiller and a 1973 IHC / Thibault 100 foot tiller. Both only saw about 10 years of front line service ending their career are spares.

 

The Kenworth went to La Malbaie, Qc around 1994 and they used it until around 2005. However, they had locked the tiller in order to operate with just one driver. It's now collector owned. 

 

The 1973 IHC / Thibault was traded in to NOVAQuintech in the early 1990s.

 

So that means that the Halifax rig was one of three tillers at the time.

The 1966 Tiller truck replaced a Seagrave tiller truck that dated from somewhere around 1945 (maybe a few years earlier). The older truck was kept as a spare for a few years. Both ran out of the old HFD-HQ on Bedford Row, which is now a restaurant. The street in front was so narrow that the two engines (E1and E4) could barely make the turn coming out of their bays.

The tiller truck could operate in the narrow waterfront streets. I can vividly remember watching it make a virtual U-turn coming out of the station onto Prince Street to get down to Lower Water Street. I didn't believe that it could be done until I watched them do it.

They have a fleet of about a dozen rigs that are used for recruit training and other courses. It is operated as part of the public education system.
