Winnipeg MB water rescue 3 seen here at a water rescue last May. Water Rescue 3 and its twin Water Rescue 23 are both 2017 Freightliner M2 with their boxes built by Fort Garry Fire trucks. these trucks feature a heated compartment behind the cab for the 2 crew members to change into the dry suits while there responding. this truck is also very unique because the inflated zodiac boat is stored on a slide-out tray in the back of the truck.

Onanole MB Trailer units. This trailer carries their 4x4 UTV as well as misc. rescue and brush fire equipment. I believe this is a 2019 Interstate 1 trailer. This (including the UTV inside) is the only unit they have that doesn't match their lime green colour scheme.

Onanole MB RIV unit. This truck is a 2016 Ford F-550 Chassis with the body built by Green Acres (A local Hutterite fire truck manufacture mostly specializing in brushes and tankers). It sports a 275 GPM pump, a 400-gallon water tank, and a 20-gallon foam cell. This unit is both the rescue truck and brush unit for this department. It replaced a small 1980s GMC brush truck (called the mosquito) and a 1980s GMC cube van rescue. This truck is also used to pull the trailer I posted yesterday.

Winnipeg MB "Service Truck". It's a 2017 International Workstar with the body built by Grainmaster and a HIAB 125 crane. this truck is a real multipurpose truck. It is used by the mechanical division to work on trucks, it is used to carry equipment to halls, it's used to support trench rescue operations, it pulls the spare decon trailer and does any other odd task that it's needed for. this truck was purchased to replace the old service truck, a simple open commercial truck from the 80s and the old trench rescue truck a converted Bronto aerial that had its aerial device replaced with a crane and made into a flatbed to haul the equipment. I took this picture the day after a brutal new years eve apartment fire in -30C temperatures which resulted in the building being a total loss and 4 apparatus (3 ladders, and a rescue) having to be towed away. it attended the fire to bring two mechanics to the scene and to remove frozen hose that was unpackable to be defrosted at the mechanical divison.

Would you by chance have a photo of the converted Bronto aerial?

Unfortunately all the pics I’ve seen of it are obstructed in some way. The truck was a 1983 White Xpeditor /King Seagrave Bronto with a 85’ Snorkel on it. It was removed in 2002 and replaced with a 125 HIAB crane.
First picture I have of it from an unknown photographer but you can see some of it.
