Another early engine from Delta was E-501, a 1964 Thibault GMC with 625 pump and 500 gallon water tank. Shop # on this rig was 7009.

[Guest]

In 1975 King delivered this 1050/500 engine to Delta, which ran as E-31 and bore shop #7013.

[Guest]

Somewhere along the way, Thibault snuck in what they called their Custom Cab engine. E-21 ran as shop # 7012 and had a 1050 pump and 500 gallon water tank. This engine was delivered in 1972.

In 1978 Delta went to local builder Anderson Engineering for their next engine. Engine 4, shop # 7018 was a 1050 pumper with 900 gallons of water and was placed on an International chassis.

[Guest]

Pierreville delivered an engine to Delta in 1980. E-31, shop # 7020 was built on a Ford L and had a 1050 pump and 500 gallon booster tank.

[Guest]

Anderson delivered E-11, shop # 7022 to Delta. and was a 1982 International S with 1500/500 specs.

[Guest]

Ladder 1 in Delta at one time operated this 1987 Thibault Amertek CM-1 with 1500/300/100'specs. and carried shop # 7029.

[Guest]

This engine is still in reserve in Delta. Shop # 7033 is a 1989 Anderson Engineering Freightliner FLL with 1500/500 specs.

[Guest]

The ladder tower that was posted earlier replaced this 1991 E-1 Hush 1250/200/75' rearmount that ran as Q-3 in Delta.

[Guest]

This next engine is a bit of a rare bird, in that I was told it was one of only 3 Simon Duplex rear engined chassis ever produced. Engine 5, shop # 7044 is a 1993 Anderson Simon Duplex engine with 1500/500 specs. I have never run across another. Anyone have a photo of any other rear engined Simon Duplex engine?

Found another old relic from Delta B.C. in my pile of photos so I thought I would post it along with a few more photos of their current in service apparatus. At one time R-405 was a 1958 Carter Ford F350 with a little 85 gpm pump and 100 gwt. This little rescue is about half the size of a F 550 mini pump, never mind a full sized engine.

[Guest]

Another rescue/hazmat that Delta operated until recently was this 1989 Anderson Engineering built International.

[Guest]

Anderson Engineering built several of these for Delta. Engine 3 is a 1994 Spartan Gladiator with 1750/500/50A specs.

[Guest]

Delta operates a tanker, and the current one is a 1997 Superior E-1 Cyclone TC with 1750 pump, 2500 gallons of water and 24 gallons of foam concentrate.

[Guest]

Delta has a large area of wetlands called Burns Bog and for fire protection in the bog, the department uses two Kawasaki 4x4 Mules. One is trailered in using this 1997 Wholesale Fire Rescue Ford F-250 with a portable pump, 90 gallon water tank, and 5A and 10B foam tanks.

[Guest]

Ladder 6 in Delta is this 1999 Smeal Spartan Gladiator with 1750/300/50F/75' specs.

[Guest]

Ladder 1 in Delta is a 2001 Smeal Spartan Gladiator 100' ladder tower with 1750 pump, 300 gallon water tank and twin 30 gallon foam tanks.

[Guest]

Smeal delivered this engine to Delta in 2004. Engine 2 is built on a Spartan Gladiator chassis and has 1750/500/20A and 30B specs.

Delta operates this 2007 Hub built GMC C5500 truck as their command vehicle.
