The Fire Truck Geek Everything about Fire Trucks I am the Fire Truck Geek or more commonly known as Ryan Stacey. Over the years I have become a huge Fire Truck Buff.

I am the Sales & Marketing Manager for Metalfab Fire Trucks, a manufacturer of Fire apparatus located in New Brunswick, Canada. This page in conjunction with my website and Twitter feed will have photos, technical tips, cool options, and other Fire Truck related info.

Across Atlantic Canada — and really across the entire industry — we’re seeing 2–3 year lead times on new fire apparatus.

For many departments, that timeline simply doesn’t align with operational needs, aging fleets, or unexpected replacements.

At Safetek Profire, we’ve made a conscious effort to address that gap.

We work to maintain a steady pipeline of stock and demo units, both on order and on the ground — including:
• Pumpers
• Tankers
• Wildland units
• Ladders & platforms

These aren’t stripped-down, base-spec trucks.

They are thoughtfully configured with the options and features we know departments across our region rely on every day — built from experience, conversations, and real-world use.

The goal is simple:

👉 Provide departments with quality apparatus, configured properly, and available in a much shorter timeframe

For departments facing urgent needs, budget timing challenges, or simply looking to avoid extended build cycles, this can be a practical and effective path forward.

I’ve included a link below to view our current available units and demos.

If you’re exploring options or just want to have a conversation about what’s out there, feel free to reach out anytime.

I found this option interesting. It is a foot activation switch for the electric hose reel rewind. It would definitely free up the firefighter’s hands.

I don’t have any information on this one but I’m fairly sure this was an old fire truck repurposed into a truck to pull a horse trailer.
