2024 Freightliner M2 106 Plus 2-Door

A pumper. Carries its own water and a pump to fight fire directly.

Our newest engine, and first out on most fire calls. A Fort Garry MXV Cross Control pumper with a 1000 gpm pump, an 840 gallon top-mount tank, and a foam system. It pumps and rolls off a bumper turret, so it can fight grass fire on the move, and it brings traffic control and extra equipment to collisions.
