Welcome to the new (and hopefully improved) Canadian Fire Truck Archive. The Archive is a digital library of the products of old Canadian fire apparatus manufacturers. The companies listed here have been out of business for a number of years and in some cases, the last of their trucks are now approaching retirement age. This web site is a small attempt to preserve some of the work of the Canadian fire truck industry.

For more information on Canada's fire apparatus manufacturers, check out these excellent books:
