Winnipeg MB F393 (300 is the prefix for ladder trucks, 090 is the designation for spare apparatus, and 003 is the designations for the third spare aerial) acting as ladder 1 spare. F393 is a 2001 E\-One Typhoon II RMA Platform with a 95' aerial, 250 Gallon water tank, and a 1665 GPM pump. Crews were conducting a final truck check before returning the truck to the spare apparatus pool and picking up their primary truck when I took this.

Can anyone identify which department this truck was built for? Currently this rig serves at Elberon, Iowa. It is a 1991 Volvo/Superior Vehicles, Red Deer AB.
I believe its serial number is SE1275. Any further information would be appreciated. (03-16-2021, 03:28 PM)aohunt Wrote: Can anyone identify which department this truck was built for? Currently this rig serves at Elberon, Iowa. It is a 1991 Volvo/Superior Vehicles, Red Deer AB. Thanks for posting this! It was originally delivered to Rama Township, Ontario, which was merged with adjoining Mara Township to form Ramara in 1994. It was replaced by a new truck in 2014. 1050 Imperial GPM pump, which is equivalent to 1250 US, plus a 1000 IG tank, so about the same. The pump test date is 30 December 1992.

Weyburn Saskatchewan pumper. This is a 2017 Rosenbauer Avenger and was the first Avenger used in Canada. This truck was the Avenger Demo rig. after it was purchased the department made some in-house upgrades to better suit the truck to fight Canadian fires including adding a space heater in the pump compartment to prevent freezing. This truck features a 1050 GPM pump and a 625-gallon tank as well as 24 gallons of foam. This is currently their first out fire/rescue piece but it'll soon be their second out piece as the rescue equipment will be moved to their other older pumper as its better suited.
