The trucks were range fire trucks, so they would most likely be at bases that had ranges. In the case of Dundurn, Regina would have been the support base at the time. The fact that my truck has prairie command decals indicate it found it's way to reserve use rather than regular force.

Thanks. I figured the CFRs were a non-starter. Too bad, because I've seen a number of pics of the late 50s FWD / Thibault pumpers delivered to the RCAF that carry them.
Incidentally, I've taken photos on a few different bases in recent years and have never seen any sort of fleet number affixed. Someone once told me that the number on the CANADA plate serves as a sort of CFR. Is this true?
Do you think it's plausible that it served at Dundurn at some point? I believe they currently have three of the most recent batch of range trucks (2012 International / Fort Garry) in service.
