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.

How are these units staffed?

these units are cross staffed with the engine companies there with. so Water Rescue 3 is staffed engine 3 and Water Rescue 23 is Staffed by Engine 23. all our Engines are staffed with 4 Firefighters (Engineer, Officer, Branch man, and Hydrant man), Same riding positions in the water rescue as well so officer and Engineer in the front Branch man, and Hydrant man in the back getting ready to make the grab.
