Rosenbauer arrival

 Recently arrived by sea this Rosenbauer is parked inside the fence at the PSA Fairview Cove terminal in Halifax. 

 I posted the photo on Facebook and thanks to alert readers I learned that it is an electric and is headed for Victoria, BC eventually, but is going to Minnesota first for certification and compliance work.

It may be going out by rail or by truck (the latter seems more likely.)

Waterloo Fire Rescue

Over a weekend in Waterloo, ON, I was able to see Waterloo Fire Rescue's 216 Weber Street North station in operation.

At 0700 the incoming shift does their checks on P-1, an impressive 2014 Pierce Impel PUC pumper.

Later in the morning responding to an alarm at University and King.

Responding to a MVA at University and Albert two days before, P-1 has earned its reputation as the busiest rig in Waterloo.

Also based at Weber Street:

  A-1 operates this 2003 Spartan Metro Star / General  / Rosenbauer 104 foot platform 1500/300/30F.

 The Platoon Chief is assigned this Chev Command Unit C-23.

Also responding to the University/King alarm was this (now classic) American LaFrance Eagle, dating from 2001.

The 1250/700/30A engine is now assigned to P-12 and is apparently a spare that was covering for another unit from a nearby station.
