Tiny Fire and Emergency Services welcomed the tanker truck, which will be stationed at Tiny Fire Station #2 in Wyevale Tuesday.

The tanker truck was made in Ontario and is designed to support firefighters in areas without fire hydrants.

Much of Tiny relies on tanker-based water delivery, making this apparatus a critical component of our emergency response.

“The addition of this tanker strengthens our ability to protect lives and property throughout the municipality,” said Fire Chief Dave Flewelling. “It represents a major investment in safety for both our community and our firefighters”.

The Tiny tanker carries 9,000 litres of water and is equipped with an onboard pump capable of flowing 5,000 litres per minute, allowing firefighters to supply water quickly and efficiently at fire scenes.

This new unit replaces a tanker over 20 years of age which improves the reliability, safety, and operational capability of Tiny Fire’s vehicle fleet.

Funding for the tanker was provided through the Fire Department’s reserves, reflecting longterm planning and responsible stewardship of community resources.

“We’re thrilled to welcome a brand-new made in Ontario tanker truck to Tiny Fire’s fleet,” said

Mayor David Evans. “This new tanker reflects our commitment to providing our firefighters with the proper equipment they need to protect our community. We honour those who run toward danger so the rest of us can be safe.”
