Would anyone know what department originally ran this truck? It's a 2009 Kenworth/Helie Camions. Currently serving in Springville, Iowa.
Thank you!

Camions Hélie is based in Quebec. They do a lot of remounts. In this case, the body was built in 1991 by Superior Emergency Vehicles on a Ford F800 chassis for the Walden Fire Department in Lively, Ontario, for its Beaver Lake station. It had a 420 Imperial GPM pump and 1200 Imperial gallon tank, which translates roughly as 500/1440 US gallons.
Walden was amalgamated with several other municipalities to form the City of Greater Sudbury in 2001 and the truck became part of Greater Sudbury Fire Services. It spent the last few years of its career as a spare and ended up at Hélie after it was auctioned off.
