Montreal Fire Department 1970's

[Ian Stronach]

Thanks everyone for your comments.  I neglected to post the following two rigs.  In 1990 Montreal disbanded the heavy rescue squads and replaced them with 10 rescue pumpers.  These pumps were not 200 and 300 series but 600 series like the rescues.  They were built on Mack MC chassis and had rear-mounted 1050 gpm (imperial) pumps, 500 gallon tanks, 55 gallon foam tanks and remote controlled deck guns.  The carried hydraulic rescue tools.  Thibault went bankrupt before the order was completed and Nova Quintech finished the construction.  What goes around come around - Montreal now has returned to heavy rescue squads.
