Red Rescue Towing Sparks Local Buzz

A small Canadian towing company found itself in the national spotlight after one of its trucks appeared in a recent episode of CBC’s long-running drama Heartland. Red Rescue Towing, based in the southern Alberta town of High River, was contacted months ago by the production team, who asked to feature one of the company’s vehicles — logo included — in a Season 19 scene.

Co-owner Kenneth Greenan said the offer surprised him, but he agreed immediately. “They contacted us and asked if we’d be interested in being in there, and they asked if they could keep my logo. I said, ‘Absolutely,’” Greenan said.

Producers ultimately had Greenan drive the truck himself. With his towing experience, he said the crew felt more comfortable letting him handle the vehicle during filming. The scene required 11 takes as he looped around the block while the production team reset.

Greenan called the experience exceptional. “The crew made you feel like part of their family,” he said.

The brief cameo, about nine and a half minutes into Episode 7, has since sparked local attention and sent curious viewers searching for the High River company online. Source: https://highriveronline.com
