🔥 A Behind the Scenes Look at FireCon 2026 🔥

A big thank you to the FireCon team for welcoming Ashley, General Manager, and Jordan, Hauling Coordinator, and giving them a behind the scenes look at the incredible training taking place in Thunder Bay this week!

From vehicle extrication and complex rescue scenarios to specialized equipment and hands on emergency response training, it was an incredible opportunity to see the skill, preparation and teamwork that go into keeping Northwestern Ontario’s communities safe.

One of the highlights was seeing the Mobile Live Fire Training Unit, a specially designed container that allows firefighters to experience and respond to realistic fire conditions in a controlled training environment.

Gary’s Towing is honoured to support FireCon each year by donating vehicles and providing transportation for the training exercises. We are proud to play even a small part in the important work being done to prepare firefighters and emergency first responders from across Northwestern Ontario.

As a towing company, we understand how important it is for all responding agencies and service providers to understand one another’s roles at an emergency scene. Opportunities like this strengthen those relationships and give us an even greater appreciation for the dedication of our region’s fire and emergency personnel.

A very special shout out to Deanna for taking the time to provide such an informative tour, explain the different training scenarios and share her knowledge with us. We truly appreciate the warm welcome and education!

Wishing everyone participating in FireCon 2026 a safe and successful week of training! 🚒🔥

✨ Heisenberg Shines at the 2026 PTAO Tow Trade Show! ✨

Last year, we left the Tow Show with one big goal, to return with our 65 ton rotator, Heisenberg. This year, we made it happen, and he certainly knew how to shine! 🚨

Ashley, Kyle, Ally and Kylie proudly represented Gary’s Towing and Northwestern Ontario for a memorable weekend filled with industry connections, incredible equipment, the Women in Towing Appreciation Luncheon, the “Let Your Light Shine” light show and plenty of unforgettable moments.

From celebrating extraordinary women in towing to watching Heisenberg’s Show Girls take the rotator controls, this was a weekend we won’t soon forget.

Thank you to Professional Towing Association of Ontario, the sponsors, organizers, exhibitors and everyone who made this year’s show such a success. Until next year!

Last year, after attending the PTAO Tow Trade Show, we left with one big goal, to return in 2026 with our very own 65 ton Peterbilt rotator, Heisenberg. This year, we made it happen. Representing Gary’s Towing at the 2026 show were Ashley, our General Manager; Kyle Pewtress, our Operations Manager

When a load shifts and needs to be reassembled safely and efficiently, teamwork makes all the difference. The crews put the rotators to work, coordinating every lift and every move to get this load of pipe repositioned safely.

Big equipment gets the job don, but it’s the communication, experience, and teamwork behind it that makes an operation like this come together.

Working together. Lifting together. Getting it done. 💪

When Bad Attitude comes to life… even the little operators know it’s loud! 😄🚛🔊

Big trucks. Big smiles. Little memories. 🚛💙

Today we had a very special visitor at Gary’s, 3 year old Briggs!

Briggs got to watch London rolling with Bad Attitude, our 50ton wrecker, and even had the chance to try the controls of Heisenberg, our 65 ton rotator, with Kyle. To top it all off, Kaiden and Brendan made sure the fun continued with the loader.

Seeing the excitement through a child’s eyes is something special. Thanks for visiting us, Briggs, we hope to see you back behind the controls again soon!

🚧 Highway 17 West of Upsala Update 🚧

A huge thank you to everyone travelling through our work zone on Highway 17 west of Upsala today.

We truly appreciate everyone who obeyed the traffic signs, slowed down, and followed the directions of our traffic control personnel. Your patience and cooperation help keep our crews, emergency responders, and fellow motorists safe while we work.

We’re almost packed up and will be clearing the area shortly. Thank you again for helping make today’s operation a safe one.

Please continue to slow down and stay alert whenever you see roadside workers. We all want everyone to make it home safely. 🚧❤️

When a tow turns complicated, the trucks are only part of the answer.

The real difference shows up in the first few minutes. Someone has to read the scene, stabilize the situation, manage traffic, and decide what can move safely and what needs a recovery plan first.

That is where advanced recovery matters.

A basic hook and haul works when the job is straightforward. But when a vehicle is stuck, unstable, or part of a larger roadside incident, the work becomes about judgment as much as equipment.

That is why Team Blue matters.

Gary’s Towing brings advanced recovery solutions for complex calls across Ontario, so the scene is handled with care from the start instead of risk being added to an already difficult situation.

One truck can move a vehicle. A recovery team can protect the scene, the people around it, and the next step forward.

If the job is more than routine, call the team that knows how to handle it.
