(Pictured on the left, this pumper was purchased new in 1965 from the "Saskatoon Fire Engine Company". It was the first new truck the Wembley Fire Department had ever purchased. It is shown above next to our 2020 E-One Typhoon which is the second new purpose-built fire engine the Town had purchased in over 55 years. It is unknown what type of apparatus was used from 1950-1965. The 65' pumper remained operational until sometime in the late 1990s or early 2000s. This pumper is long retired but remains in our possession as a restoration project. We are always looking for donations or help with the project, as we hope to restore this piece of firefighting and Wembley history.)
