Are you curious about the electric fire trucks and electric emergency vehicles that are rolling out across Canadian municipalities? These new vehicles raise many questions when it comes to maintenance. Hear from Rob Anselmi, Mechanical Division Chief, Equipment & Asset Management for Toronto Fire Services, on why Toronto Fire purchased electric apparatus and the expected challenges and benefits to come with this novel fire truck.

Looking for a method to keep your truck parts running longer and reduce downtime? Time to freeze your assets with cryogenics. Cryogenics refers to the behavior of metal material under extreme heat conditions once it has been cryogenically treated. For example, cryogenically treating brake parts via extremely cold temperatures causes the brake parts to react differently and ultimately last longer and result in less down time. Chris Dennis, chief mechanical officer with Vaughan Fire Rescue Service, will share the process, outcome, and examples.
