Newmarket's fire department first in Canada to adopt new smart technology in its fleet Central York Fire Services will be using the state-of-the-art SAM system to operate a new fire truck's pump system, usually a complicated manual process Feb 3, 2021 9:00 AM By: Alan S. Hale Central York Fire Services is the first fire department in Canada to have a fire truck with a Scene Apparatus Manager (SAM) system installed onboard. With "smart" versions of everyday items from thermostats to doorbells becoming widely popular, this may be the country's first smart fire truck.
