Visited Montreal in the late 70's with a church group. Because of the winters many stores are located underground, there is an extensive network of stores. We took the elevator in our hotel down to the concourse. A very clean city, even the subway system. There was a fire response next to our hotel, 2/2. This was when the French speaking citizens were at odds with the English speakers. Because of this everything was in English and French. So one side of the rig said "Pompiers de Montreal" the other side said Montreal Fire Deptarment.. It looks like they have changed things a little.

Bridgeport: Truck 3 did move from Norman Street to the new station on Wood Avenue, and then was subsequently closed.  Strange to have a firehouse with two engines (3 and 4) and no ladder.
