ERD Apparatus

[harryshute]

Wonder if there is any interest for this in Edmonton. For Example Pump 23 Unit 551 was driving around the city yesterday showing off their new 5 man SuperTanker. Also looking for Tankers 511,512,513,514 and 515.

Anyone know who 244 and 246 are assigned to?

New Pump 4 Unit 465. Also looking for 466 and 467.

Edmonton Fire Rescue is that your web page I look at that shows photos of EFR vehicles?

You may want to have a look at this website - Canadian Public Transit Discussion Board (Powered by Invision Power Board)

While not specifically for pictures of emergency vehicles, they have some very dedicated members that post new pictures on a regular basis.

ERD? It isn't EFRS anymore?

 

[harryshute]

Yes my apologies it is EFRS. I'm just living in the past I guess. Thanks for posting a correction.

I say they should be called HJ (Hose Jockeys)

Exactly.

I prefer the EPS term hose monkeys. They have phased out the term mattress backs

Mattress backs certainly hasn't been phased out over here!

I've been bugging the person that runs that site to update it. From what I've seen on the CPTDB none of us have pics of the new rigs yet.

I do have a fairly decent collection on my Flickr page

Unit 513 is Tanker 20.

Here is one of my pics of Tanker 20.

awstott, nice close up photo. These tankers crews have certainly been busy this year around here. All those fires where there was no hydrant coverage were saved by the tankers. I heard Parkland Counties tanker helping Edmonton at the pallet fire west of the city.

It seems most of the new pumps are at the training facility.

Great looking truck - the Edmonton fleet is probably the nicest around.

Tanker 20

Here is another pic of Tanker 20. I'll try and see if I can hunt down some of the other new rigs, but I haven't heard anything on the radio about anyone getting anything new except pump 4. I like the look of the new grille on the front. It looks to be the same as what we have on 823 (air light salvage).

Spotted Tanker 514 eastbound on the yellowhead this afternoon. It's possible it may be in service now. I'll go see if i can hunt it down a little later this evening.

 

[harryshute]

I heard Tanker 514 on a call with Hall 11 today. Could it be in the station on the Yellowhead by the pound? I should say I saw the unit on ETrunker and it was stood down before I could hear the unit Id.

Unit 514 is confirmed as Tanker 11

Station 11 is by Capilano mall. 514 is indeed tanker 11. I managed to get a couple of shots of it today.

 

[harryshute]

awscott awesome pictures thank you.

We'll have to watch for Tankers 511,512 and 515 next and Pumpers 466 and 467. I have my beep tone on all of them so soon as they are in service we should know where.
