Winnipeg Fire Department Engine 103 (using a spare), BRAND NEW Engine 101, and Squad 102 responding for a fire alarms call in downtown Winnipeg. WFD is leasing multiple stock/demo Pierce rigs, while specs for permanent replacement trucks are finalized.
I believe these new trucks will be in service for about a year, with plans to replace them with permanent trucks by next year. So far, WFD has 4 of these new Pierce trucks, with 2 of them currently being in service as Engine 101 and Engine 6 (video to come). I was told that all of the demo Pierce trucks are different configurations and set ups from each other, giving members the opportunity to experience multiple different styles of engine.
These trucks were brought in to help with the extreme shortage of front line apparatuses due to aging equipment, many trucks needing extensive repairs/servicing, and unforeseen circumstances, such as the recent stolen fire truck that led police on a wild chase through Winnipeg.
