The newest addition to Toronto Pearson’s firefighting arsenal has arrived. 🚒 These state-of-the-art Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting (ARFF) trucks are officially in service at Canada’s busiest airport. The ARFF trucks are critical tools the airport uses to respond to emergencies of all types. 🧯 These trucks are equipped with a 12,000 litre water tank, which can drain in under 2 minutes, a tank that can hold 1,500 litres of foam, and can reach a top speed of 120 km/h. 💦 These fire trucks can also be operated by a single firefighter. Here’s a snippet of the truck in action. Check back later this week where we will have more footage of these trucks in action.

Mississauga Fire will be conducting joint training with Toronto Pearson Fire and Emergency Services this week. Last week our firefighters participated in classroom based theoretical training in preparation for this week’s hands-on training exercises.

Being a young player in the NHL I did not think of the significance of this picture at that time. CNN came to interview us during Black History Month on playing in the NHL and having 5 black players on the Atlanta… instagram.com/p/CBoiPa7gVe7/… – at Atlanta, GA
