Apparatus Deliveries

>> The Drayton Valley Fire Services, Brazeau County, Alberta, Canada, protects mostly rural land and large forest areas. It has in service two types of apparatus built by FORT GARRY FIRE TRUCKS. Deputy Chief/Operations Manager Murray Galavan SCO (Fire) says their tanker responds to rural structure fires with an engine and supplies water in wildland operations. Their rapid attack unit is primarily used in wildland fires and in remote areas to go off road. In addition it is used at motor vehicle accidents for scene safety and traffic control and as a personnel carrier.
