FGFT Awarded Sourcewell Contract & Announces Major Expansion

Fort Garry Fire Trucks is proud to announce that we have been awarded a Sourcewell contract for Firefighting Apparatus and Fire Service Vehicles. While commonly recognized as Canoe Procurement Group of Canada within Canada, Sourcewell provides the same cooperative purchasing framework across North America. This award represents a significant milestone in our continued commitment to deliver high-performance, Canadian-built fire apparatus to departments throughout Canada and the United States.

In addition to this achievement, FGFT is announcing a major expansion of our operational footprint. The company has signed a lease for the former Freightliner Trans Solutions facility on Lucas Avenue—adding approximately 30% more production and service space. This expansion will allow Fort Garry Fire Trucks to significantly increase manufacturing capacity, enhance service operations, and better support growing demand for our apparatus.

To support this growth, FGFT is investing more than $4,000,000 in new equipment and production enhancements, ensuring that we continue to build industry-leading fire apparatus with exceptional reliability, craftsmanship, and performance.


What the Sourcewell Award Means for Fire Departments

As a Sourcewell Awarded Contract supplier, FGFT now joins an exclusive group of manufacturers that public agencies across North America can purchase from through a streamlined, compliant cooperative purchasing process.

For fire departments, this represents meaningful advantages:

  • A simplified and compliant procurement process

  • Access to competitively awarded contract pricing

  • A faster, clearer path to acquiring the right apparatus

Most importantly, this award reinforces what customers already experience every day:
Fort Garry Fire Trucks delivers reliability you can trust—backed by teams dedicated to supporting those who protect our communities.


A Milestone Built on Craftsmanship, Innovation, and Trust

This achievement reflects decades of engineering excellence, the discipline of our manufacturing teams, and the trusted relationships we’ve built with fire departments across Canada and the United States. These relationships are strengthened through transparency, reliability, and a long-standing commitment to doing the right thing.

Our expansion—combined with the Sourcewell award—positions FGFT to continue delivering Canadian-built, purpose-engineered fire apparatus that meet the evolving demands of modern emergency response.
