Canada Eh?

The tow vehicle for the fire safety house in Surrey is a conversion of a 1966 GMC pumper.

[Guest]

The fire department obtained several municipal gravel trucks that were surplus and had both HUB and ANDERSON convert them into tankers. Tanker 15 used a 1973 International chassis and had HUB rebuild it in 1981 into a 1500 gallon tanker with a 625 GPM pump.

[Guest]

In 1975 Surrey placed this Thibault built 1050/500 pumper in service. By the time I got around to photographing it, it was running as the hose/pump or 2nd out piece in the hall.

[Guest]

Hose/pump 10 was this 1976 International Hub built 1050/500 pumper.

[Guest]

In 1977 Hub supplied two 1050/500 pumpers to Surrey on Mack MB chassis.

[Guest]

One of the earlier rescue trucks that Surrey ran was this 1982 International S Anderson built truck.

[Guest]

Surrey's early brush rig or booster truck as it was dispatched was this 1974 shop equiped International 200 4x4 with a 95 GPM pump, 150 gallon water tank and little rescue boat on the roof!

For those who found Post 1145 of interest, I was able to talk with the engineer from Green Acres yesterday. I asked him why this unit did not have a large dry chemical unit as have most of the oil patch rigs I have photographed over the years. Turns out that this unit is designed primarily as a shower/decontamination and vapour suppression unit with fire fighting a secondary purpose. The on-board water supply is used for the shower/decon activities. Any water for fire fighting is brought to the scene by water tankers.

Head lights are still were they normally are, I would hazard a guess at the one in the bumper are either driving or spot lights. Just my 2 cents.



Great shot

[Big Dave]

here is photo of CFB-Cold Lake's range truck that more clearly shows the headlight assembly in the front bumper. The traditional 3/4 view didn't really show this clearly. Sorry for any confusion created.

Nice pic Dave, do you know what other bases are slated to get these rigs? Have a nice Easter holiday!

[Big Dave]

thanks Joel and John.

To date, the range trucks have been built for and/or delivered to Canadian Forces Bases:

. in Alberta: Suffield, Wainwright and Cold Lake.

. in Saskatchewan: Dundurn

. in Manitoba; Shilo

. in Ontario: Petawawa

. in New Brunswick: Gagetown

None, either completed or currently on the floor at Fort Garry Fire Trucks are for any other bases to the best of my information.

I managed to scan a few more old out of service apparatus from Surrey. Hose pump12 (2nd engine out of the hall), was a 1979 Hub Mack MC 1050/ 500 engine.

[Guest]

Another Hose pump when photographed was HP 4 a 1986 Anderson built 1050/500 pumper on a Mack MC chassis.

[Guest]

Pierreville supplied this 1982 Mack MC pumper with 1050/ 500 specs. in 1982.

[Guest]

Another Mack, this one supplied by Anderson in 1985 using a Mack MC chassis, ran as P 8 for a while.
