leylandvictory2 Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 The rescue reminds me of a Toronto rescue (probably the Mack Chassis). On the topic of Mack Chassis fire trucks, members of the Toronto Fire Department came to my nursery school today. The firefighters told me the firetruck uses MACK chassis are strictly used as spare only. To those who didn't know, every single firefighters know how to drive a firetruck. I didn't know until i asked one of the fire fighters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is only like 2 of them left as spares when one unit is down for work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is only like 2 of them left as spares when one unit is down for work the firefighters drove the active mack fire truck to show the kids. When I developed the photo, I shall post it. Also a firefighter told me the MACK firetruck is approximately 22 years old (built in 1985). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just cause the drove the Mack dont make it an active truck, its used as a spare and used as needed as a back up when one of the regular trucks is out of service for work to be done on it.

TheAverageJoe Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 That sounds 'bout right, and I believe Superior body work too. I always relate Mack to TFD, they just had so many of them, and they looked sharp! IIRC all the old Macks in the Toronto Fire Service Fleet came from the old TFD (downtown) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry I used the wrong words. The firefighter said that the regular firetruck was in the shop. That's why they used the backup MACK firetrucks. Other interesting facts about firefighters Firefighter basic equipments (i.e. mask, oxygen tanks, jacket) weights approximately 75 pounds. The firefighters only have to work 7 to 8 days a month (accroding to a Toronto Fire fighter). However their shift is like 24 hours long! Their firefighting pants is consists of three layers of pants. The number of calls the firefighters have to attend varies. One time a fire fighter told me he had to respond to 27 calls in a 24 hour shift. Unfortunately, my colleagues and I were working at that time, we didn't get the chance to ask any questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A. Wong Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 Ah, I thought I remember seeing a flat face Mack there (are the Loadstars?), but I think they do have a Sterling rig too. I'll have to look at my pics/videos when I get home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcornell12 Posted June 14, 2007 Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 Just checked Calgary's apparatus lists and there are no Macks left there, you may have been thinking International Loadstars, as they used to have loads of those rigs down there I seen it sitting at South Side Equipment in the foothills industrial area, about a mounth ago. I think it was for sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
