Municipality of Cumberland continues its investments in rural fire departments
- Details
The Wallace Fire Department took delivery of a new fire truck from the Municipality of Cumberland and Fort Garry Fire Trucks of Winnipeg, Man. The new truck arrived at the Wallace fire station on Saturday, Jan. 25, 2025, where members had an opportunity to look at the truck and have training provided by Fort Garry on its use. Then that evening it had its first call to a structure fire.
This 2025 Freightliner will be Wallace Fire Department’s first-out truck for everything and replaces a 1999 Sterling truck that will become the department’s second-out vehicle.
The truck, that carries 800 imperial gallons of water and has a pump capacity of 1,040 imperial gallons per minute, will service the Wallace district and provide support for mutual aid calls.
