USED FIRE TRUCKS FOR SALE IN ONTARIO

Most of the apparatus we list is in the United States, so buying for an Ontario department usually means importing the truck. Plan ahead for:

• Customs and taxes: the truck crosses the border through the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA). Duty depends on where the vehicle was made, and sales taxes apply. A customs broker can handle the paperwork.
• Vehicle import rules: Transport Canada's Registrar of Imported Vehicles (RIV) program sets the rules for vehicles imported from the United States; vehicles 15 years old or older are exempt from Canada's motor vehicle safety standards. Check that the truck you want is admissible before you commit, then plan for an Ontario safety inspection and registration.
• Standards and insurance grading: US apparatus is built to NFPA standards. If your municipality, your insurer or your fire insurance grading (Fire Underwriters Survey) expects apparatus certified to CAN/ULC-S515, ask about it before you buy.
• Measurements: US listings give tank and pump sizes in US gallons. 1,000 US gallons is about 3,785 litres, and a 1,500 gpm pump moves about 5,700 litres a minute.

Please confirm these details with a customs broker, Transport Canada and your provincial authorities before you purchase. We can put you in touch with transport companies, and our shipping calculator gives a quick estimate between a US ZIP code and a Canadian postal code.

Many Ontario departments are volunteer or composite services covering large rural areas with few hydrants, so tankers and pumper-tankers are often the busiest trucks in the fleet. Long winters, road salt and long response distances are hard on apparatus: on any used unit, look closely at the maintenance records, the frame and body for corrosion, and cold-weather features such as pump and compartment heating. Our team can answer questions and help you compare listings.

Fire engines and pumpers are the core of any fire service. They carry the crew, hose, tools and water, and pump at the scene. Browse our used fire engines and pumpers to find one that suits your calls, from structure fires to vehicle collisions and rural responses.

Tankers, also called water tenders, let a department work where hydrants are few or far apart, and they are the backbone of rural water supply and tanker shuttles. Our tankers and water tenders come in a range of sizes, so you can match the capacity to your area.

Expand your fleet with proven vehicles that have already taken their first depreciation. Reach higher with an aerial or ladder truck, or choose a quint that combines a pump, water tank, hose, aerial device and ground ladders in one vehicle. See our aerials, ladder trucks and quints.

Rescue trucks carry the tools for extrication, technical rescue and medical response, and can be set up for the calls your department runs, from highway collisions on the 400-series highways to water and ice rescue. Find the used rescue truck that matches your needs.

Brush trucks and wildland units reach grass and forest fires that a full-size engine cannot, which matters across rural Ontario and cottage country. Browse our wildland and brush trucks.

A command vehicle gets your chief to the scene quickly, keeps them in contact and lets them take charge of the response. Our chief and command vehicles include pickups and SUVs equipped for command and communications.

Ambulances used for patient transport in Ontario must meet the province's land ambulance vehicle standard, so check that first. Used units also make practical support, rehab and equipment vehicles. View our ambulance listings.

From breathing apparatus and rescue tools to hose and loose and miscellaneous equipment, you can find the gear your crew needs at Fenton Fire Equipment.

Replacing a truck? Departments across North America list their used apparatus with us, and buyers in both countries see it. List your truck and Jim and Alex will review the price with you. There is no fee unless it sells.
