Notes	50 Bush Buggy replaced an older truck which was too small and under-powered for our needs. The town secured an Alberta Municipal Infrastructure grant to purchase a new cab/chassis for the existing body. This new truck is four-wheel drive and has a crew cab capable of transporting up to five firefighters. The truck carries 300 gallons of water and pumps from a 250 gallon per minute pump that is part of a new skid unit purchased during the refurbishment. The back of the truck has a set of directional arrows mounted there, so it may direct traffic in case of an emergency on or near a roadway. Also, extra rescue equipment is carried onboard, to supplement the Rescue. Lastly, multiple sets of floodlamps are both mounted and detachable on the unit, able to be powered from the mounted 5kW generator.
