Introducing the International HV Wildland Ranger Fire Truck

Thousands of wildfires. Millions of hectares burned. This year, last year, and the year before.

This is our new reality, which means rural communities across Canada need to prepare for it. In the past, firefighters used the equivalent of supped-up pick-up trucks to get the job done, but that isn’t going to cut it anymore. Which is why Maxim has partnered with Fort Gary Fire Trucks to give you in the International HV Wildland Ranger – engineered for the next generation of wildfire response in Canada and the US.

Let’s start with power. With it’s Cummins L9 380HP engine and smooth Allison transmission, this truck is built to handle demanding conditions. A GVW Rating of 42,000 lbs can carry your crew, water, pumps, winch, and equipment with ease. With its wide base, anti-roll stability control, and double the ground clearance of its competitors, this truck can navigate through the steepest and most demanding off-road conditions. It’s Michelin wide-base tires improve all-terrain traction in soft soil and mud while resisting shocks, bruising, and penetrations, and it’s superior lighting and controls hooked up International’s Diamond Logic Electrical system make navigating at night  and working the controls a breeze.

But of course, you can’t fight fires if your crew is at risk, which is why the Task Force Tip CrewProtect filtration system provides clean air for the crew by rapidly removing particulates, smokes, aerosols, and VOCs inside the truck’s crew cab.

As for the body, the remote-control reels with 150 ft of rewind capability can be deployed on the move, providing a faster, safer reload and cleanup. You can carry over 1,200 gallons on board, and the Waterax mid-range fire pump delivers pressure and volume enough for attack lines, water supply, and structural firefighting. T’s Kubota Super Mini-series diesel engine is reliable and easy to maintain, with simplified controls that keeps crews focused on the job.

And what might be the most surprising thing about this truck is its cost. For around the same price as its competitors with double the power and a vehicle lifetime of around 20 years, buying this model is an investment that will save you money. And with the 5-year drivetrain warranty, there is no reason not to pull the trigger.

For our new tough reality, you need one tough truck. The International MV and a Fort Garry Fire pumper body let’s you fight fire with fire.
