Does the Welland rescue boat require the same "yellow" sticker as Welland fire apparatus?

The rescue boat operated by Welland does not require the same "yellow" sticker as Welland fire apparatus for several reasons related to the classification and purpose of these vehicles. The "yellow" sticker typically signifies compliance with specific regulations and safety standards that are mandated for fire apparatus, which are primarily focused on firefighting capabilities.

Rescue boats, on the other hand, have their own set of regulations and standards that may differ from those applicable to fire apparatus. This divergence is due to the distinct operational roles and requirements of the two types of vehicles. Rescue boats are often focused on water rescue operations, which necessitate different safety equipment and certifications pertinent to marine environments and water rescue practices.

Consequently, because the regulatory requirements and purposes for the rescue boat do not align with those of fire apparatus, the rescue boat does not need the same "yellow" sticker that is designated for Welland fire apparatus.
