Vehicle History
It is not known which particular base in Alberta this truck served on. The truck was purchased by the Village of Forestburg in 1947 from Crown Assets and served as the village's fire truck until it was replaced by more modern equipment.
From museum website.
Following a suggestion by Mrs. Selma Phillips of Nanton and Mr. Ian Laing of Forestburg, the truck was donated to the museum in 1993 by the Village of Forrestburg and the Forestburg Fire Department. With the generous assistance of Nanton businesses and individuals, the truck was delivered to Nanton and necessary body repairs and painting were completed in order to restore this valuable artifact to its wartime configuration and appearance.
