An Open Letter to Our Valued Customers

Dear Chiefs, Firefighters, and Municipal Leaders,

For over 65 years, Hub Fire Engines has proudly served the Canadian fire service. British Columbia is our home, and we take immense pride in designing, engineering, and manufacturing every fire truck right here in Canada.

Since 1959, our mission has been simple: to build fire trucks Canadian departments can count on. Decades later, that mission remains unchanged. We have grown alongside Canada’s fire services, adapting to new challenges and pushing innovation forward—all while ensuring our trucks meet the demands of Canada’s diverse landscapes, from busy urban centres to remote rural communities.

We are deeply rooted in Canada. We believe in keeping jobs local, supporting Canadian suppliers, and investing in BC-based expertise. Our factory isn’t just a workplace—it’s where Canadian craftsmanship thrives, where knowledge is passed down through generations, and where every fire truck is built with dedication and pride.

When we are faced with challenges like economic shifts, global supply chain disruptions, and new trade barriers, we dig in deeper. We collaborate because we believe in Canadian innovation and manufacturing. We remain steadfast in our commitment to supporting our Canadian firefighters in every way possible.

To our valued customers, partners, and the entire firefighting community: thank you. Your trust, your referrals, and your dedication to supporting Canadian-made fire apparatus inspire us every day. Together, let’s champion Canadian manufacturing, strengthen emergency services, and ensure that Canadian fire departments continue to have the homegrown solutions they expect and deserve.

At Hub Fire Engines, our values have never wavered. We continue to stand by the firefighters who stand by us.

Whatever comes next, Hub Fire Engines is ready.

Onward together,

Wayne Stevens

President, Hub Fire Engines
