Beautiful colorful design wrap on P257 for the Black History Month seen responding to an alarm call at a nearby residential building with lights and sirens on Friday February 17th 2023. For this year Black History Month from February 1st to 28th this truck is stationed and operating at various fire halls across the city of Brampton in the region of Peel, Ontario, Canada. This amazing display of support for the Black community is meant to underline the efforts of their members to surpass and overcome systemic racism and a history of despicable oppression. Markings on the apparatus read as:
