Calgary’s fire department may soon be testing the first electric fire truck in Canada. Pierce wants to try out its electric fire trucks in different markets and climates, officials say, and Calgary may be in line to test one.
The manufacturer wants to test an electric apparatus in a cold climate, reports cbc.ca, and Calgary, of course, fits the bill. The electric truck can run on batteries for 24 hours but can use a diesel motor if they run out.

Negotiations with Pierce and the department are underway to bring an electric fire truck to Calgary, the report says.
An electric apparatus is already in service in two U.S. cities, and officials say it’s not out of the question that the apparatus could be in front-line service in Calgary sometime in 2023, according to the report.
