User talk:Uzbek

Hi Uzbek -- we are excited to have Firefighting Wiki as part of the Wikia community!

Starting a new wiki can be overwhelming, but don't worry, the Wikia Community Team is here to help! We have put together a few guides to getting started. They say imitation is the best form of flattery so absolutely check out other wikis on Wikia for ideas on layout, ways to organize your content, etc. We are all one big family at Wikia and the most important thing is to have fun!


 * Our guide to Getting Started gives you 5 things you can do right now to set your wiki up for success
 * We also put together some Advice On Starting a Wiki which provides a more a in-depth look at some of the important things you should consider when building a wiki
 * If you are new to wikis in general than we recommend checking our new user FAQ

If you need help (which trust me we ALL do) you can access our full in-depth help at Help Wikia, or email us through our contact form. Also, you can visit our live #wikia chat channel any time. A lot of the veteran "Wikians" hang out here so its a good place if come if you want to get some advice or simply make friends.

Now, go edit! We look forward to seeing this project thrive!

Best wishes, Catherine Munro

Hi. I just wanted to drop a line and let you know that I have started contributing content to this Wiki. I notice that the last edit seems to have been in December if 2007. I wanted to see if you were still active on this Wiki or if you have decided not to continue work on it.

 * Hi there. Appreciate your contributions. I hadn't given up, but unfortunately I have a bunch of projects on the go right now. I had planned on making this a roster thing, but your additions are great. Unfortunately, the rosters don't look that great when entered without a lot of additional editing, and there isn't an easy way to transfer the info I have elsewhere to the wiki. However, I hope to get the word out and start getting some rosters up one of these days.
 * Can I ask how you found it?

Cheers, Uzbek 03:32, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, took a bit of fumbling but not too bad once you get the hang of it.

Huron County, Ontario
Hi, Huron County in Ontario is made up of 7 departments, Huron East(Brussels, Grey, Seaforth Stations), North Huron(Wingham, Blyth Stations), South Huron(Exeter, Dashwood, Huron Park Stations), Central Huron(Clinton Station), Goderich(Goderich Station), Bluewater(Bayfield, Brucefield, Zurich, Hensall Stations) and Howick(Gorrie Station). The 3 unknown truck assignments under North Huron are Howick fire department trucks (formerly Wingham Area Fire Department which was compromised of Wingham and Gorrie Stations, as of Jan 1 2010 Wingham and Blyth Stations amalgamated to become the Fire Department of North Huron, and Howick created their own department from the Gorrie station). I will try and get Truck information for all the stations, and can edit the pages once they are created, thanks for all your hard work!67.220.44.110 17:38, June 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the info and the kind words. I saw that Gorrie wasn't on the North Huron fire website, so I thought it had been closed. No idea that a new department was formed. I've added a new page for Howick. Cheers, Uzbek 03:02, June 17, 2010 (UTC)

Just wanted to let everyone know that I have started contributing content to this Wiki which is a great source of information with regard to fire fighting resources. I have much more information to come...as time allows. Cheers! Housingcop

New Wiki Logo!
Howdy,

I am part of the Wikia Lifestyle content team and have greatly enjoyed looking around your wiki!

Earlier today I uploaded a quick and simple wiki logo for your Fire wiki and hopefully it will update soon (you can view it here: http://fire.wikia.com/wiki/File:Wiki.png). (Looks like it's working now!).

Please let me know if you have any questions or need any help!

Rocky View
Hi there,

The official spelling on their website appears to be Rocky View.

60 Bush Buggy and 56 Engine were right beside each other on my list of vehicles and I mixed up the asset numbers. 56EN is 5630; I'll fix that in a few minutes.

That 1999 International (SE2032) is most likely Chestermere's old truck. Replaced by the Rosenbauer and 99% sure it is currently a spare.

The other two Fort Garry trucks I'm not sure about - but I have someone I can ask.

As for the retired trucks: P3180 (not P23180) was either leased or purchased from Calgary Fire when 71 first opened. It was subsequently wrecked in a collision and the last I saw of it, it was in Calgary's shop yard in pieces. I would feel comfortable saying it's retired.

The GM bus was 56 Support at one time, asset 1891. Not sure where it is now.

The two front-mount pumpers might be trucks that were sold to some of the other non-County departments. Cochrane has one and Airdrie either used to or still does have another. They're no longer County property. I do intend to do the other departments when I have time, so I'll work on that.

The other two (the 1991 GMC and the 1985 GMC van) I'm not sure about - again, I can ask someone.

Thanks for the warm welcome and I definitely will be working on things as I get time! :)

New Look Coming to Lifestyle
Uzbek,

Hi! Quick reminder, in case you missed the site notice last week. The Lifestyle category, which includes the wiki you are an admin for, is among the first to test out our new look (read more about the new look)!

You've been added to the beta group where you can access the Theme Designer to prepare your wiki for the change over. Starting tomorrow (October 6,2010) all anonymous viewers of your wiki will see it with the new look. We've created a Transition Guide with tips and best practices in the Community blog or my announcement for Lifestyle adminshas even more tips. Please let me know if you have any questions. Cheers,

Thank you and will do may just need a hand keeping my entries look good. keep up the the good work.Backdrft 23:43, February 2, 2011 (UTC)Backdrft

Ya no worries I only know the smaller depts. I don't have a very good idea of the cities. Your calgary page is really good. Please add to mine I know I am missing Apparatus for both depts.

Hey just had a look at your additions to vermilion and did some additional fixes. I was wondering if you new about some of there other apparatus I know the county bought a new truck back in the mid 2000's I think it was a superior or e one and they bought a new truck from FGFT this summer in august and also have a dodge ram for command hoping you may have the answers keep up the good work backdrft

So I had another look into Vermilion the Town got a 2010 spartan pumper from FGFT and it arrived in the fall of 2010 and it replaced the 1979 front mount. Thats all I know I have never seen it in the FGFT deliveries but I know they got it. I believe vermilion has the 2003 In there hall which is the county truck and the 2006 pump is blackfoot alberta which is in the county. The county of vermilion has updated all of there Trucks in the last 10 years. I dont think the 1998 tanker was kept it was basically a flat deck with a plastic tank on it and the 1994 pump I am not sure but I doubt it was kept possible sold elsewhere. The 1994 rescue was for sale on the towns website. The 1999 pump is the towns also. Hope we can solve this mystery (lol).

Design
Howdy Uzbek,

Thanks to the Wikia design team, the Fire wiki has a new look and feel - please take a look and let me know what you think.

As always, don't hesitate to let me know if you've got any questions or thoughts about the wiki and keep up the great work!

Not sure how to add a category on Retired Apparatus?

Can you send me an E-mail. [mailto:stuck@scanbc.com stuck@scanbc.com] I have some questions about some information listed on the Langley Fire Page.

Question
Hello Uzbek, I just have one quick question, where do you find all the information about the different trucks? 101blargman 18:07, May 11, 2012 (UTC)101blargman


 * Hi Blargman. Thanks for your efforts on the Ottawa page. A lot of my info there is out of date and I don't have assignments for a lot of the newer rigs. Any missing shop numbers would be a great help too. Also, I see you have the new Spartan / Carl Thibault tower at 81 as 81B. I know they've had some issues with the RKs, but thought they had been worked out. If they're running the new trucks as backups, maybe not.


 * To answer your question, I've gathered it from here and there over the years. Websites, people in the area, Ontario Fire Buff Third Alarm ([www.ofba.ca]), apparatus photography, etc. etc. By putting everything I have out there for people to see and change, I hope to keep my own info UTD. Hope this helps and keep those updates coming! Uzbek 19:27, May 11, 2012 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the info Uzbek, as for the RKs, last year the Pierce had a recall and got replaced by the RK for about 7 months, now the Pierce is back and the RK floats around from station to station as a spare ladder. Since station 81 is fully trained on that ladder, if the RK is at the station for storage, they could put it in as a B ladder if the situation should arise. So the Pierce is the full-time ladder and the RK is just a spare. When ever I get so new info I'll make sure to put it on! 101blargman 20:37, May 11, 2012 (UTC)101blargman

Mississauga
Hello, just noticed that the Mississauga Fire Station 114 has been updated and Pumper 114 now a 2010 Spartan Metrostar? Just wondering if this is correct or if they are still operating Pumper 114 as the 1998 American LaFrance/Smeal Truck? Thanks...


 * Not sure. I didn't make the changes. Uzbek 11:59, June 6, 2012 (UTC)


 * They were running a 2006 ( I believe it was a 2006) Spartan/dependable that was former Pumper 101 I believe, they are not running the Lafrance anymore it is a spare. I have asked a friend who works at 114 for the info on the truck but here is a picture

Ottawa Fire
Thanks for your edit Uzbek, I only have access to the active roster, not the unknown location roster. So I have no idea where those trucks are. On the subject, where did you hear about getting 12 new Pumpers? Thanks again,

101blargman (talk) 14:46, September 3, 2012 (UTC)101blargman


 * Hi Blargman. I wouldn't be surprised if many of those trucks have been retired, but generally try to get some sort of confirmation. Can you tell me about the active roster info you have access to? If they aren't on the active list, that might be all the confirmation we need.


 * The twelve pumper tender was posted on MERX at http://www.merx.com/English/SUPPLIER_Menu.Asp?WCE=Show&TAB=1&PORTAL=MERX&State=7&id=250377&print=Y&src=osr&ForceLID=&HID=&hcode=ZwJQIIgyLbFszjMsdxeKDA%3D%3D.


 * Thanks for your help on Ottawa. Big city and my info was out of date - plus, there seems to be lots of movement there. Uzbek (talk) 15:33, September 3, 2012 (UTC)


 * I'm involved with the OFS in different ways, I have a scanner and once a week every full time station does radio checks, telling me there Pool numbers and Lit numbers, then I match them to the ones on this site. I haven't been updating in a while because I've been quite busy lately, so I only have them in my records, so soon I'll have a big update on pool numbers. The only flaw with that is that I only know the pool numbers and I don't know what type of truck it is all the time. For the confirmation, most of those trucks numbers I haven't heard in a long time, so I'm guessing they're no longer in use.


 * Sneaky, I never thought of doing that type of research to figure that out. It's my pleasure, I already had my own record of the trucks, so I thought why not share them? Yes there is a lot of movement, the OFS isn't the most efficient department. Thanks again, 101blargman (talk) 19:27, September 3, 2012 (UTC)101blargman

Ottawa Fire Question
Hey Uzbek, just wanted to run something by you and grab your opinion, on the Ottawa Fire Service page, there is a massive list of trucks that were made in the 1990s era, and I'm almost positive that they're no longer in service. I haven't seen any of them around, nor have I heard any of there Pool Numbers over the air. With your blessing, I'd like to move them to the "Retired" section if that's alright with you. Let me know. And thank you very much for this website! 101blargman (talk) 02:01, January 24, 2013 (UTC)


 * If you're reasonably sure they're gone, sure. Any idea what they do with their old trucks - trade-in, auction? Uzbek (talk) 02:50, January 24, 2013 (UTC)


 * Thanks Uzbek, I'll start removing some. They seem to do a mixture, manly auctions though. I know a lot of neighboring Ottawa Departments end up with there older rigs. It's just I don't know whether or not they did do that with any of these rigs, so I can't link them. 101blargman (talk) 22:33, January 24, 2013 (UTC)

Helping hand?
Greetings! Fire Wiki is a great concept, I have family who are firefighters. :) I wonder if you'd interested in some help with a new background (or at the very least, a fix of the blank white space at the top) or wordmark logo, or possibly with a main page that has more info and better links to the wiki contents? Please let me know either way, I'd be happy to lend a hand here if you'd like. Thank you for your time! :)

Fire Wiki in French
Hi Uzbek !

I'm QcRLH from Pompier Wiki, it's a project like Fire Wiki but obviously in french ! I think that we can do a partnership between your project and our project and add interlanguage links between the two wikis. I know that our wiki isn't big, but currently Pompier Wiki has 190 pages in 17 days, I think it is not so bad for a new wiki !

Some informations are only available in French in some regions and I think that can help your wiki and a lot of informations from is on your wiki.

PS : Sorry for my English, my first language is french. QcRLH (talk) 21:17, May 20, 2013 (UTC)


 * A request have been sent for links between our two wikis : http://community.wikia.com/wiki/Community_Central:Interlanguage_link_requests --QcRLH (talk) 22:31, May 20, 2013 (UTC)

I cant figure out how to put the box's in for the stations on the Airdrie Fire Dept page, can you help?


 * Hi. Which boxes are you referring to? Can you link to an example? Uzbek (talk) 03:04, June 9, 2013 (UTC)

I figured it out!!! thanks anyway


 * No problem. Looks good! Thanks for the edits. Uzbek (talk) 20:48, June 9, 2013 (UTC)

Some pictures and categories
Hi ! I start to take some pictures of some fire stations in my region (Chaudière-Appalaches, Québec), all of pictures is take by me (currently they are posted directly the same day that I take the pictures), today I did all fire stations of Les Etchemins except Saint-Cyprien (I forgot that village... pathetic), you can view the (new?) pumper #208 (ex:?) of Saint-Louis-de-Gonzague. For the tanker #609 of Saint-Just-de-Bretenières, I take that picture during the parade for the Saint-Jean-Baptiste, however each years they also parade with the pumper #209 and the rescue #509, but this year they have some problems... This two apparatus can't be use currently by firefighters (#209 is too old (Greatly the new Levasseur pumper) and #509 have problems with safety belt...

Brief, I will try to do others RCM in next weeks (or this week), Montmagny (except Saint-Antoine), L'Islet, Bellechasse, Lévis, Beauce-Sartigan, Robert-Cliche and La Nouvelle-Beauce are my goal presently. For Saint-Antoine-de-L'Isle-aux-Grues, unless that I pass one day on the Isle-aux-Grues, I can't take picture of the fire station, hovewer I don't know if I can go close enough of the fire station to take a picture because this fire station is on the field of the local airport and is the property of the government and in my memory I think that the field is fenced.

For categories, for the Municipalité Régionale de Comté, I find some errors : also in french it's : Municipalité régionale de comté (without capital)
 * Municipalité Régionale de Comté de La Côte-de-Gaspé
 * Municipalité Régionale de Comté du Domaine-du-Roy
 * Municipalité Régionale de Comté du Granit
 * Municipalité Régionale de Comté de La Haute-Côte-Nord
 * Municipalité Régionale de Comté de La Haute-Gaspésie
 * Municipalité Régionale de Comté de L'Île-d'Orléans
 * Municipalité Régionale de Comté de Kamouraska
 * Municipalité Régionale de Comté des Etchemins
 * Municipalité Régionale de Comté de Matane -> Municipalité Régionale de Comté de La Matanie
 * Municipalité Régionale de Comté de la Minganie
 * Municipalité Régionale de Comté de La Nouvelle-Beauce
 * Municipalité Régionale de Comté de Robert-Cliche
 * Municipalité Régionale de Comté de La Vallée-de-l'Or
 * Municipalité Régionale de Comté de La Vallée-du-Richelieu

but in everyday life we just talk of the La Nouvelle-Beauce, therefore all of this category can just be named like : La Nouvelle-Beauce, La Rivière-du-Nord, L'Assomption, Le Haut-Richelieu, Les Etchemins, etc...

Also, I know that's hard to understand, but in Québec we have MRC but also some TÉ (ET, Equivalent territory), it's not a MRC (most of TÉ are just 1 big city but all of this TÉ are several city merged together, therefore some defunct fire departments). That's the list of all TÉ: I think that's a good idea to list directly the MRC and the TÉ without Municipalité Régionale de Comté just like :Saguenay, Québec, Maria-Chapdeleine, Les Appalaches, Montréal...
 * Gatineau (1 City)
 * Jamésie (4 Cities, 1 Municipality)
 * Kativik (14 Nordics village, 1 Naskapi Village)
 * La Tuque (1 City, 2 Municipalities)
 * Les Îles-de-la-Madeleine (2 Municipalities)
 * Lévis (1 City)
 * Longueuil (5 Cities)
 * Mirabel (1 City)
 * Montréal (15 Cities, 1 Municipality)
 * Québec (3 Cities, 1 Municipality)
 * Rouyn-Noranda (1 City)
 * Saguenay (1 City)
 * Shawinigan (1 City)
 * Sherbrooke (1 City)
 * Trois-Rivières (1 City)

Finally, the Communauté Urbaine de l'Outaouais do not longer exists since 2002, it's currently the TÉ of Gatineau.

QcRLH (talk) 23:08, June 26, 2013 (UTC)


 * Hi. Thanks for all of your work, really appreciate it. Your ideas about the MRCs sound good. I was trying to be accurate as possible (sorry about the spelling), but if people just say "La Nouvelle-Beauce" or whatever, it makes sense. Here in Ontario, people would say "York Region" instead of the official name, "The Regional Municipality of York," so it would be the same. I don't know if there's an easy way to change it, though - would it be necessary to go through each article? I'm not sure. Un mille fois, merci! Uzbek (talk) 01:30, June 27, 2013 (UTC)


 * I will go through each article and change all the categories, this is not so long. QcRLH (talk) 02:11, June 27, 2013 (UTC)


 * Excellent. I'll try to grab some too. One thing - there's a change you can make when adding categories (second box) where you can add a name to put it in alphabetical order. For instance, if you add Cacouna, Cacouna is listed under C instead of S (for Service Sécurité Incendie Cacouna). I can do them as well - will do some for Rivière-du-Loup. Thanks again. Uzbek (talk) 12:08, June 27, 2013 (UTC)

Question
Hi ! This is just a question, but when I have enough information about some fire department, can I take the model of the Maitland and District Volunteer Fire Department article ? Because, with Schémas de couverture de risques en sécurité incendie, I have many informations on fire departments of the MRC when this document is available on Internet.

 * Sure. Uzbek (talk) 16:09, July 1, 2013 (UTC)

Hey. As you saw, I've started editing Service de Sécurité Incendie Montréal. I don't live in Montreal any more, but I try to keep up (and I listen online occasionally). Trying to figure out a better way to organize all the info for each station and unit. --Peter Laws N5UWY (talk) 23:39, November 16, 2013 (UTC)

Ideas
Hi Uzbek,

It's can be cool to have pictograms for domains of intervention of fire departments that we can place in a infobox with some information like the logo, headquarter coordinates, established, number of firefighters, number of stations, number of engines, number of squads, number of rescues and the fire chief.

For the pictograms I thought about : I'm not able to do that, but maybe someone of Wikia can do that.
 * Vehicle extrication
 * Wildfire
 * HAZMAT
 * CO2
 * Confined space rescue
 * Vertical rescue
 * Water rescue
 * First responders
 * Off-road rescue
 * Etc...

QcRLH (talk) 15:39, November 24, 2013 (UTC)


 * Hi QC. Sure...but I'm not sure how to proceed. No idea how to do any of that stuff - an infobox would be a great way to do it. I've tried to create one but no luck. Plaws was going to look into it as well. The updates are great - thank you for your hard work. Uzbek (talk) 23:32, November 24, 2013 (UTC)
 * For the Infobox I can try ! For the pictograms I will try to search ! QcRLH (talk) 02:56, November 25, 2013 (UTC)

Pictures from BAnQ
Hi, I will add some archives pictures from BAnQ (Archives of the Québec government) : So all pictures created before 1949 on the Pistard Archives on BAnQ are in the public domain.QcRLH (talk) 03:40, November 25, 2013 (UTC)
 * Bibliothèque et Archives nationales du Québec (BAnQ) allows, without special authorization, use of content from its Web portal for educational, private study or research purposes, provided the source of the images and/or texts is clearly indicated.
 * This Canadian work is in the public domain in Canada because its copyright has expired for one of the following reasons: it was a photograph created before 1949.


 * Great idea!

Pictures Copyright
Hi, I wrote a message (in French) to PompierJonathan because the pictures that he add in the wiki are also on the website of municipalities, so I don't know if he have an autorisation or if he's the owner of these pictures.

Some exemples : I view this because I use municipality website for information to add to the wiki (some rescues, manufacturer (Levasseur, Maxi Métal, Carl Thibault and Heloc are really easy to view on pictures)

Hi Uzbek,

I'm very happy to have found this website. I'm doing an inventory of all fire trucks in Lanaudière and it really help me. I wanna know how did you found all the informations about fire departments? Especially for Saint-Michel-des-Saints truck?. I didn't see anything about that except here. But nothing more about type of trucks or any pictures. That's the only town that I have nothing about fire trucks for my inventory. If you can help me, I will really appreciate. And on my side, I'll try to contribute for other fire dept.

Thank you so much

Copyright and pictures
I think that we give time to PompierJonathan to explain authors of pictures, but we didn't have any answer so I think that you can delete pictures add by Pompier Jonathan.

My goal for the summer (It's in a couple of months but...) I want to take pictures of all fire stations in Montmagny (11), L'Islet (1, I forgot Saint-Aubert last summer), Bellechasse (20), Beauce-Sartigan (13), Robert-Cliche (5) and possibly La Nouvelle-Beauce (10), Lévis (6), Lotbinière (16) and Les Appalaches (11) and closed fire stations.QcRLH (talk) 04:03, February 9, 2014 (UTC)

1 FD, 2 MRCs
When a fire department serves municipalities on two MRCs, should we add the category of the second MRC ? Notice that the second municipality don't have any fire station. I have some examples :


 * Tadoussac (La Haute-Côte-Nord) serves Baie-Sainte-Catherine (Charlevoix-Est)


 * Saint-Prosper (Les Etchemins) serves Saint-Philibert (Beauce-Sartigan)

QcRLH (talk) 00:15, March 4, 2014 (UTC)
 * Beauceville (Robert-Cliche) serves Saint-Simon-les-Mines (Beauce-Sartigan)

Caserne No. 1 vs Caserne 1
In French, it's exactly the same thing in English : PS : Please delete that : http://fire.wikia.com/wiki/Caserne_No._1_vs_Caserne_1 I had a bug with your talk page...
 * Fire Station No. 1 or Fire Station 1 have the same meaning than Caserne No. 1 or Caserne 1 QcRLH (talk) 20:51, March 7, 2014 (UTC)
 * Chaudière-Appalaches is did ! (L'Islet, Montmagny, Bellechasse, Lévis, Les Etchemins, Lotbinière, La Nouvelle-Beauce, Robert-Cliche, Beauce-Sartigan and Les Appalaches) --QcRLH (talk) 22:04, March 7, 2014 (UTC)

Pictures
Hi, I contacted Heloc Fire Trucks to use pictures on the wiki, because I saw some pictures on other websites like : http://pdq.policecanada.org/liste/fortiervillefd/index.html, So maybe we could have some pictures (with copyright authorisation) for some trucks. I will try with other Quebec companies later (Levasseur, Lafleur, Maxi Métal, Carl Thibault, L'Arsenal, Techno Feu, Aéro Feu). QcRLH (talk) 01:39, March 20, 2014 (UTC)

Hey Dean,

That rig is the old Engine/Rescue 3, the 1995 Spartan/Metalfab rescue pumper. The 1996 Spartan/Metalfab that was Engine 4 is still used as a reserve unit. B

Airports
Hi, most of airports in Quebec are city owned and some fire departments have crash tender or a fire truck assign at there airport, so does these fire departments (like Bromont, 1 crash tender, 1 fire station near the airport), can be add to the category Airport Fire Departments (Québec) ?. And what about Bagotville, the fire department of Bagotville base is also the civil airport fire department ?

If yes, what are criteria ? This is a short list :
 * Baie-James (At less 3 crash tenders), Aéroport La-Grande 3, Aéroport La-Grande 4
 * Bromont (1 crash tender, 1 station), Aéroport Roland-Désourdy
 * Gaspé (1 crash tender, 1 station), Aéroport Michel-Pouliot
 * Mont-Joli (1 crash tender), Aéroport de Mont-Joli

Saint-Jean-de-la-Lande vs Saint-Jean-de-la-Lande
http://fire.wikia.com/wiki/Service_de_S%C3%A9curit%C3%A9_Incendie_Saint-Jean-de-la-Lande

Two municipalites had the name of Saint-Jean-de-la-Lande, one in Beauce who was amalgamed with the city of Saint-Georges and one in Bas-Saint-Laurent who is now desserved by Dégelis. Because Saint-Jean-de-la-Lande (Témiscouata) have a population of 290 citizens, I don't think that they had 5 different pumpers between 21 years. So probably, that 2 or 3 pumpers served Saint-Jean-de-la-Lande (Beauce). Can you check, if you have a precision about the four older trucks. The only apparatus that is clearly from St-Jean (Témiscouata) is the 1989 GMC / Levasseur pumper (I found a picture, http://www.marchemunicipal.qc.ca/petites-annonces/ads/view/41-camion-gmc-autopompe-1989.html). QcRLH (talk) 19:12, April 3, 2014 (UTC)


 * Saint-Jean-de-la-Lande was amalgamed with Saint-Georges in 2001, for the 1967 GMC / Thibault is really a truck of Saint-Georges. QcRLH (talk) 12:24, April 4, 2014 (UTC)

1995 Répertoire des ressources municipales en sécurité incendie
Where can I find the 1995 Répertoire des ressources municipales en sécurité incendie ? If it's a book, do you know a place where I can buy it on internet ? QcRLH (talk) 17:22, April 4, 2014 (UTC)


 * For the fire stations in Québec, I found a free Excel file : http://www.donnees.gouv.qc.ca/?node=%2Fresultat-recherche&query=caserne Download it (Lien vers le téléchargement), you will have 6 files, open the DBF file with Excel. For the répertoire, it could useful for defunct fire departments because the book was did before 2000-2006 municipal reoganization.  QcRLH (talk) 23:41, April 4, 2014 (UTC)


 * For the Excel, dezoom with the wheel of your mouse + CTRL, you will view that others colums are really far in the right, Colums A from H are use :
 * A is the road
 * J is the street number
 * L is the municipality
 * M is the fire department
 * QcRLH (talk) 13:26, April 5, 2014 (UTC)
 * In the répertoire, do you have information about this municipalities (It's old municipalities of Rouyn-Noranda) :


 * Arntfield
 * Beaudry
 * Bellecombe
 * Cadillac
 * Cléricy
 * Cloutier
 * D'Alembart
 * Destor
 * Évain
 * Lac-Dufault
 * McWatters
 * Montbeillard
 * Mont-Brun
 * Rollet
 * Saint-Guillaume-de-Granada
 * I searched, and I didn't find the book on internet, the government have only one copy (at Bibliothèque et archives nationales du Québec, in Montréal), they can copy it but, with 0,30$/page it cost me 76,80$ without taxes and postal services... QcRLH (talk) 19:15, April 7, 2014 (UTC)

Infobox/Répertoire
I'm working on an infobox for fire departments, AlexG86 is doing pictograms for services offers by departments such decarceration, etc... You can view two pictograms on is Talk Page, he sends two links. For the répertoire, my college can have books from other college/university (whose the Université Laval, and they have it :)), so I did a request by internet to have it, if i have the répertoire, I will scan it. QcRLH (talk) 02:03, April 8, 2014 (UTC)


 * I had a response, the book can just be view at library for other universities/colleges, so my college will call the Ministère de la sécurité publique, if they can loan me the book. If it's not the case, can you scan it for me ? QcRLH (talk) 00:00, April 9, 2014 (UTC)

Infobox
That's it ! I finished the infobox (I can add anything, if need), Notice that all information, if nothing is write, will not appear,  but now the infobox countains : QcRLH (talk) 00:17, April 9, 2014 (UTC)
 * Image
 * Country (I will do a template to add Flag + Name (the name will redirige to the category:Canada)
 * Province (Templates to be add (Flag+Name))
 * State (Templates to be add (Flag+Name))
 * City (If the department serves only one city)
 * Cities (Two or more cities)
 * Established
 * Predecessors
 * Successors (For defunct fire departments)
 * Services (For future pictograms)
 * I add full-time firefighters (fulltime), volunteer firefighters (volunteer), population (population), area (area) and chief (chief). I changed the red color temporarly, because I have to test how to change the text color. If you want the Facilities & Equipment section on Wikipedia, I can add it. About the table, I will try to create a map coordinates template, but I have another idea, a French Wikia about Roads add a Google Maps plugin : http://routes.wikia.com/wiki/Carte_de_localisation_des_Panneaux_Michelin_de_l%27Ain_%2801%29.--QcRLH (talk) 17:35, April 12, 2014 (UTC)

Répertoire, Yeah!
I just drop a line because I'll receive the 1995 Répertoire from the Ministère via my college for a couple of weeks ! QcRLH (talk) 22:27, April 14, 2014 (UTC)

CFB Esquimalt
Hi, I was wandering if you could post the picture of CFB esquimalt fire rescue engine 462 since you said you had one. I live near there and to my nollage there is no engine 452.


 * Hello. It isn't my photo so I'll have to ask the owner. Could it be at Fairwinds? And aren't there other stations at the base? Uzbek (talk) 00:47, May 8, 2014 (UTC)
 * Found an online copy of the same photo on the Fort Garry site. Uzbek (talk) 00:50, May 8, 2014 (UTC)
 * Found additional copies of the other two trucks on the FGFT site. It's possible that one was transferred elsewhere, but they're all pretty new so it would have to been a recent move. Also added notes to the CFB Esquimalt page. Uzbek (talk) 15:13, May 8, 2014 (UTC)

Photos
Thank you ! I'll take some pictures of some stations wednesday, I'll probably visit some stations in the next month, I'm contacting some departments about information. Today, Beauceville, Saint-Joseph-de-Beauce, Saint-Prosper and Lac-Etchemin/St-Luc chiefs answered me, so I'll try to visit their stations to take pictures of apparatus. QcRLH (talk) 02:35, May 13, 2014 (UTC)
 * I added some pictures took today ! (More than 20 !) QcRLH (talk) 01:44, May 17, 2014 (UTC)

Image under copyright / new information
Pictures under copyright that I posted (I will probably post) are furnish by chiefs of some departments, I'm presently contacting, with the help of AlexG86, all the fire departments in Quebec by email. So, I added and I will add some information on the wiki, because I send information that we have on the wiki and chiefs returns it with correction. Since the week-end, I sended email to all fire departments in Abitibi-Témiscamingue  Bas-Saint-Laurent, Gaspésie-Îles-de-la-Madeine, Centre-du-Québec, Côte-Nord and the most of Chaudière-Appalaches and some parts of Capitale-Nationale and Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean. QcRLH (talk) 01:13, May 22, 2014 (UTC)

Québec titles
All Québec fire departments are list like Service de Sécurité Incendie XYZ, whre XYZ is the name of the town, but in realty to be correct in french it would be Service de Sécurité Incendie de XYZ. I've tried to start to rename, but the action is limited by the wiki. QcRLH (talk) 01:11, May 25, 2014 (UTC)


 * No problem with your French, for the limits, after a couple (like 3-4-5 renames), a error message appears (in French for me, because it's a message from Wikia), this is the translation :


 * Limited action


 * To fight against spam, the use of this action is limited to a certain number of times in a short period of time. It turns out that you have exceeded this limit. Try again in a few minutes.


 * Back to the Main Page.QcRLH (talk) 02:48, May 25, 2014 (UTC)
 * Thank you ! I do not have any problem with renaming anymore, I tried with Les Etchemins. QcRLH (talk) 12:45, May 25, 2014 (UTC)

Information
Just a question, where did you find information for the MRC de L'Islet ? QcRLH (talk) 16:51, May 25, 2014 (UTC)


 * I found the Schéma de couverture de risques on their website, that's okay ! QcRLH (talk) 20:07, May 25, 2014 (UTC)
 * For L'Islet, stations locations are correct (I took pictures of, last year). QcRLH (talk) 23:34, May 25, 2014 (UTC)

Levasseur
Équipements Incendie Levasseur is now closed. (bankcruptcy) QcRLH (talk) 14:07, May 31, 2014 (UTC)


 * It's really recent, me and AlexG86 knew it since monday, but the confirmation of bankcruptcy was did only yesterday). We only had this confirmation : http://www.fm1017.ca/les_actualites/8670. At the last paragraph, the Saint-François-du-Lac's mayor say : We are working now with politicians and concerned people to find a solution. So maybe, it could be like Thibault did like 10 times in his history, start the company under a new name. I think, it just a question of time. QcRLH (talk) 14:37, May 31, 2014 (UTC)

Videoclip
This is a videoclip of a popular band in Quebec, Trois Accords, the videoclip was filmed with the collaboration of the Service de Sécurité Incendie Rigaud. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qBNuAk2RfCE QcRLH (talk) 00:15, June 2, 2014 (UTC)

Saint-Marc-des-Carrières
I saw the information on that picture. I'm not sure, but I think that Phoenix didn't have plate for their logo just a sticker or a thing like that and the picture, we could see a plate of the front of the truck. QcRLH (talk) 02:30, June 5, 2014 (UTC)

Website
That's a really nice website ! If you want to use my pictures of Thibault / Pierreville (like the Ste-Apolline pumper) truck for your website, I don't have any problem with this, my pictures are on the wiki and also on a website : http://pdq.policecanada.org/liste/index.html. If you need help to translate in French, I can do it. Probably, that AlexG86 can also furnish you some pictures. QcRLH (talk) 16:17, June 8, 2014 (UTC)


 * Yes that's fine for me :) AlexG86 (talk) 16:22, June 8, 2014 (UTC)
