Postwar Fire Trucks

[DeanJNickerson]

Hi. I run a website called the Canadian Fire Truck Archive (www.firetruckarchive.ca), a listing of fire trucks built by five different Canadian apparatus builders. Most of these companies built rigs for DND from the 50s to the 80s, and I'm looking for any info (serial numbers and bases, mainly) that can be found.

I'm interested in anything from this era, but here are some of the rigs I'm particularly curious about:
- a series of 1955-57 FWD / Thibault pumpers for the RCAF
- 24 1964-67 Thibault custom pumpers for the CF
- a series of Ford pumpers with bodies by Saskatoon Fire Engines built in the early 1970s
- a series of International Cargostar pumpers with bodies by Pierreville Fire Trucks built in the early 1970s

I realise that the forum is mostly dedicated to other types of vehicles, but there are a couple of posts on fire trucks. I'm mostly a list-maker, not a mechanic or restoration guy, but I might be able to help a little bit on history.

Appreciate any help anyone could offer.
