Recent Deliveries - River John, NS



The River John, NS welcomed their newest Metalfab Unit to its Fleet of Fire Apparatus on July 10, 2013.  This Metalfab Tandem Pumper/Tanker is the Fourth Metalfab unit that the Department has purchased.

This tandem axle tanker was installed on a Freightliner M2 106 Tandem axle two door chassis.  The chassis was equipped with a 350 HP Cummins ISC Diesel engine and a Allison EVS 3000 Automatic Transmission.


This Pumper/Tanker was equipped with a Hale QFLO 1050 IGPM.  The pump panel was a side
mount type.  Each 6" Steamer port was equipped with a Hale Manual MIV (Master Intake Valve).  The water tank had a capacity of 2,500 Imperial Gallons.  At the rear of the unit, a 10" Newton Dump with rotating and telescopic chute and a 4" direct fill were installed.  There was also a 1" valve installed at the rear for filling of Back Pack Tanks for grass fires.


The extruded aluminum body featured Low Side compartments on the left side of the unit and intermediate height compartments on the right side.  The truck was equipped with a Whelen LED Warning Light package.  The doors on the body were a combination of Amdor Roll Up Doors and flush mount doors.  The truck had rear access storage compartments for a 3,000  Gallon Portable tank on the left side of the unit and had rear access storage for a 24'-00" 2 section ladder, a 14'-00" roof ladder, a 10'-00" attic ladder and 2 pike poles on the right side of the unit.  The truck also had storage compartments for wheel chocks in the left side rear wheel well area.

Metalfab would like to thank the River John Fire Department for this recent purchase.
