Its a 2001 American LaFrance Eagle 134/ Almonte/ LTI (1500/300/25F/55' Rearmount) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamilton Posted September 22, 2016 Report Share Posted September 22, 2016 L90 belongs to the Training Division and is used only when they run out of regular spares. Training vehicles usually have had the crap beaten out of them and on their last legs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hybrid0920 Posted November 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2016 I could've swore I saw an ambulance that had a different box on it. Maybe just slightly refreshed design? Number 2017. Maybe I'm going crazy I don't know. Have we received any with the new ford transit front end? Or is ford still making the old style front end?

You weren't seeing things. Hamilton Paramedic Service has purchased 1 Crestline ambulance and are using it to evaluate going with either Crestline or Demers for the future ambulance deliveries.

Anyone know how they like the Heavy Rescues compared to the old squads and what their future plan is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have heard that there were 3 Engines delivered but that may have been misinformation, I would have to say looking at the roster for ages of in service pumper/engines, it would be pumpers 6, 12 and or 23 but that's just a guess. I have heard unofficially that the new Ladder will be going to 1 with the current ladder 1 going to 20 and the current ladder 20 relocated somewhere else.

JRM1000 Posted November 14, 2017 Report Share Posted November 14, 2017 For one reason or another P46 has been the pump at Station 3. Are they getting a new truck or is theirs just out for repair? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rescue1cal Posted December 5, 2017 Report Share Posted December 5, 2017 Odd how after the 3 new Engines go in service the busiest truck in the city will be the oldest (P6). Looks like it is getting replaced next year anyways: Tenders were called for a 100' rear-mount quint, an urban pumper, rural pumper and rural pumper/tanker in December 2017 (#C5-13-17). Any insight to where the new Aerial is going? Once the new L1 goes in service, the oldest Ladders will only be 8 years old. Ladder 4 (ex L1) and Ladder 20 (ex L4). New full time Ladder? Or replacing one of those Ladders so the volunteer stations have more modern Aerials? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rescue1cal Posted January 2, 2018 Report Share Posted January 2, 2018 The new Engine 23 was on display at the recent Hamilton Fire graduation ceremony. The new Ladder 1 has been sitting beside Ladder 10 in their station for about 2 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rescue1cal Posted January 9, 2018 Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 (edited) New Engine 8 is in service. It was 1st due at a working fire tonight. Engine 23 also just put in service today. Engine 12 now in service as well. P6 is the last full time staffed Pumper in the city. Edited January 15, 2018 by rescue1cal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamilton Posted March 8, 2018 Report Share Posted March 8, 2018 From the 2018 budget book: Quote In 2018 HFD will purchase: 1 (one) Aerial Ladder to replace 1(one) 20 year old Aerial Ladder, 4 (four) Engines (Pumpers) to replace 4 (four) 20 year old Engines (Pumpers), and 1 (one) support vehicle to replace 1 (one) 10 year old (+) support vehicle. Note, that in order to initiate the tendering process for the large fire apparatus, an approved budget is required. Furthermore, once the tender has been awarded, the anticipated delivery time for the apparatus is between 10-12 months. Hence, there will always be a 1 (one) year lag time between the time the budget (2018) has been approved and the apparatus is received. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HAMSTN1,2,3,4,20 Posted March 21, 2018 Report Share Posted March 21, 2018 Has anyone got a shot of the new Ladder 1? There’s no videos of the truck responding or any photos on google only the midmount not the rear-mount 103’ AerialCat. Anyone got any photos please share so I can see the beauty.

Hamilton Posted March 27, 2018 Report Share Posted March 27, 2018 Hamilton Fire Department had 39,758 total apparatus responses in 2017 which represents an increase of 5% over 2016.

rescue1cal Posted April 18, 2018 Report Share Posted April 18, 2018 It looks like HFD has reorganized their special operations units slightly. Engines 3, 12, 17, 23 and Rescue 12 are high angle, confined space, collapse, etc. trained with E23 transporting Support 23, the confined space unit. Station 25 also has rope rescue/high angle capabilities. Rescue 4 and Ladder 4 are still the main Hazmat units, with Ladder 4 cross-staffing Haz 2 and Support 4. Engine 8 and 11 are now Hazmat trained as well. In addition, Engines 8 and 11 are still the Water Rescue units. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HAMSTN1,2,3,4,20 Posted May 28, 2018 Report Share Posted May 28, 2018 Anyone know why P48 is in station 3 it's been there for a few weeks almost a month P48 is spare truck ex pump 2 so is station 3 getting a new truck or is Engine 3 having major issues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HAMSTN1,2,3,4,20 Posted June 5, 2018 Report Share Posted June 5, 2018 So I just looked on the HFD Twitter page and I just seen a medical call for L1 and P10 according to my knowledge station 10 only has L10 unless they are now getting a pump to make the station 2 trucks now. Anyone can confirm or deny this cause I'm now curious and confused Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamilton Posted June 6, 2018 Report Share Posted June 6, 2018 Sometime they will run out of spare ladder trucks and they will replace a ladder truck that is going in for maintenance or a break down with a pump. So it now L10 becomes P10. No they would not put an extra vehicle into a station. An extra pump/engine or ladder would add about $3.5 million to the budget. That would be a long process through council and require hiring of 22 more people. Station 10 at one time had a pump and a truck until the late 90's. Here is a list of stations (Old HFD) that had more vehicles in it in the past: (Today) St 1 - Pump 1, Pump 2, Truck 101, Rescue 1, Car 203, Foam 1 (E1, L1, R1, PC1) (St 2 - E2, DC3, C73) St 3 - Pump 3, Pump 19 (23:00 to 07:00 hrs daily) (E3) St 4/12 - Pump 4, Car 204, Tanker 4 (R4, L4) (Hazmat 2 and Hazmat 4 are not staffed) (St 5 - E5) St 6 - Car 206, Pump 6, Snorkel 106 (E6) St 7 - Pump 7, Truck 7 (E7) St 8 - Pump 8. Car 208, Tanker 8 (E8, DC2) St 9 - Car 209, Pump 9, Tanker 9, Rescue 9, Truck 109 (E9, L9) St 10 - Pump 10, Truck 10 (L10) St 11- Car 211, Pump 11, Truck 111 (E11) St 12 - Car 212, Truck 112, Tanker 12, Rescue 12, EU12 (Station 12 closed in the mid 90's and was merged with St 4 in it's new location. Present 12 was assigned to former Stoney Creek Station 1 on amalgamation) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rescue1cal Posted June 6, 2018 Report Share Posted June 6, 2018 Awesome post Hamilton. Super interesting to see stations with Tankers (ex 4) that are now in solidly urban areas due to the quick development. What was the staffing like on the different units those days? Also were the cars chiefs or something else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
