Equipment
Nakusp Volunteer Fire Department

The Nakusp Volunteer Fire Department in the BC Interior added a Fort Garry-built pumper tanker to its fleet on June 10. The red vehicle is built on a Freightliner M2 106 4x4 chassis. A 350-hp engine keeps the truck running, while an Allison 3000 EVS transmission allows for simple gear shifting. It has a Crusader body with side-control pump panels. It gets the job done with a Hale PTO MBP 1000 pump made of 5052 marine-grade aluminum and a 1700 imperial gallon Pro-Poly tank.
