an older unit with a spare tire mounted on the front (not something I have seen often, if at all) due to the abundance of gravel roads in their service area.  Pelican Rapids, Manitoba  1990 Fort Garry Industries/Ford F800  625/1000

Very cool truck...almost an exact copy of the Bruce Power trucks that ERV did a couple years ago. I honestly think the Richmond Hill pumpers are larger...they are just massive (and now black/red as well!).

The Town of Carleton Place, Ontario is an hour west of Ottawa, and is home to the Ocean Wave Fire Company and Eastway Emergency Vehicles.  The Ocean Wave Fire Company runs out of a single station and has a full time Chief, Deputy Chief and 2 Fire Prevention/Fire Fighters, along with a complement of volunteer firefighters.  They just placed this new rescue in service in August, and this is the first to be painted with the black over red paint scheme.  The 2010 Spartan Gladiator 3 door chassis was originally a tri-axle, one of several that were produced, but never utilized.  OWFC purchased the truck at a greatly reduced rate, had 2 of the axles removed and Eastway constructed the rescue/command body in 2015. Eastway is constructing a new pumper that should be delivered within the next 8 weeks.  Plans are to paint their Seagrave ladder black over red in 2016.

Ken are they replacing the Volvo engine or has that already been replaced?

They are replacing the older Volvo engine, the one with the canopy cab.  The other one with the cab conversion will become the second out pumper.

Thanks I didn't know they had 2! I was thinking of the one with the 4-door cab. Do you have any photos of either of them you could please post?

Soon to be the backup pumper is Unit 75, a 1996 Volvo/Almonte 1050/800, a very unique rig in this area!
