Tuxedo Fire Department (Manitoba)

==History==
The Town of Tuxedo was incorporated in 1912 and amalgamated with the City of Winnipeg in 1972. 
in 1957, unimpressed with the $10,000 a year levy plus hourly equipment fees the City of Winnipeg Fire Department was charging to provide fire protection, the Town of Tuxedo decided to create its own volunteer fire department. A fire hall was built, a pumper purchased and five volunteers hired. By 1961, the department averaged one call a year and the municipality realized that the deal the City was offering was cheaper than providing fire protection themselves, especially considering that hourly fees were still paid for any additional equipment requested. The Town dissolved the Tuxedo Fire Department in 1962 and again purchased fire protection from the City of Winnipeg, leasing their pumper to WFD for $1 a year.
