It's a massive and more modern upgrade for the Mossey River Municipality, as the Winnipegosis Fire Department has purchased a pumper truck.
This 2014 model replaces two older trucks from '72 and '89, and Fire Chief Gerry Vermette says it has some great new features.
"The big feature we really like, it's going to be a benefit, it's got a 3-inch top mount monitor gun. That'll be great help in fighting structure fires and even for grass fires and stuff. That was one of the big features that we liked about it."
This truck was purchased in partnership with the Municipality and funding from the Manitoba Hydro Community Development Initiative at a price tag of roughly $285,000.
Gerry also noted departments like this do a lot more than just put out fires.
The Winnipegosis Fire Department is host to a STARS air ambulance mobile fuel cache that extends their rescue range by 150km.
It also orchestrates water rescue operations and attends to car accidents and other critical rescue operations.
Vermette wants to thank not just the funders, but the people that dedicate their time to save lives.
"Thanks to all our past and present firefighters for the commitment and support they've given to our fire department"
He expects this new truck to last for quite some time.
As well, the Firehall is always looking for new members. If you're looking to try your hand at these life-saving roles, they are accepting applicants, and also offer a youth training program for those between 16 and 18.
