Bly th department gets pumper/tanker
Key to protection
Hullett Township Reeve Tom Cunningham, chairman of the Blyth and District Fire Area Board
presents the keys to a new fire truck to department Chief Paul Josling. The department
recently took delivery of the new truck, a unique combination of tanker and pumper that was
designed for the Blyth department.
Blyth and District Fire Depart
ment tdbk delivery of a new truck
recently, one that has no similarity
in any area department.
Fire Chief Paul Josling said last
week the new truck is a combina
tion pumper and tanker, serving as
the perfect addition to the depart
ment in providing additional capac
ity to both the tanker and the
pumper on the department.
The new truck replaces the
department's 1968 pumper which
had served as a backup for the
department. The truck was seldom
used, however, because at a rural
fire it was hard enough to find
enough water for one pumper, let
alone two.
The new truck is 90 per cent
tanker, with a capacity to carry
1500 gallons of water compared to
the department's number one tanker
which carries 1650. But the truck
can also provide backup capacity
for the pumper through the pumps
installed on the truck that can pump
420 gallons per minute compared
to the 840 that can be pumped by
the number one pumper.
Chief Josling said as far as he
• knows the truck is unique. It was
designed by the Blyth department
and manufactured by Robica-Fore-
man Tank Ltd. of St. Marys.
Walton landfill
to charge for old tires
Based on recommendations from
the Walton Landfill Site Commit
tee, Grey Township Council passed
a by-law on May 6 which establish
es disposal fees for used tires at the
Walton Landfill Site.
The Committee recommended
that tire disposal fees be established
as a number of other neighbouring
landfills had implemented fees. The
fees, along w|th proper identifica
tion will ensure that tires will be
received from the residents of Grey
or McKillop townships only.
As well as providing added
capacity for both pumping and
hauling water, the new truck adds
another valuable element of versa
tility to the department. It has
pump-and-roll capabilities meaning
it can pump water while it is mov
ing along. Ordinary pumpers must
stop and disengage the transmis
sion before getting power to the
pumps. Pump-and-roll capability is
particularly important for firemen
when fighting grass fires which
cover large areas of ground.
The fees range from $3 for pas
senger tires without rims to $20 for
tires in excess of 20 inches in diam
eter. The fees will cover the present
cost of disposal by a tire recycling
company.
The fees will come into effect on
May 18.
