1.0 BACKGROUND
1.1 In the early 1990's, Ontario Hydro donated a 1979 Pumper Fire Truck, equipped
with hose and extrication equipment to Clarington Emergency & Fire Services
[GEES]. This truck was utilized at the Enniskillen Fire Station #5 until its
replacement in 2003. The truck was then donated to Durham College to be
used in the Pre-Fire-Service Program.
1.2 In 2007, CEFS took delivery of a new Pumper to replace an aging 1986
International Pumper. However, the 1986 International Pumper remained in-
service and acted as a fill-in truck while two Pumpers were being refurbished.
The refurbishments are now complete and the 1986 International Pumper is
surplus and has little value.
2.0 COMMENT
2.1 Ontario Power Generation has expressed interest in the 1986 International
Pumper to be utilized at the Wesleyville Training Centre, a facility CEFS
utilizes throughout the year to co-train with DarlingtoK Nuclear Generating
Station Emergency Responders.
3.0 CONCLUSION
3.1 It is staff's recommendation that the 1986 International Pumper be donated to
Ontario Power Generation for use at the Wesleyville Training Centre.
