An Aging Fire Truck

When a fire truck in your fleet is showing its age, you are faced with a big decision:

• Buy new,
• buy used, or
• Have it updated through refurbishment.

Buy Used

Brindlee Mountain has been in the business of selling quality used fire trucks for over 19 years. Our passion is to help fire departments serve communities by having the fire trucks that meet their needs within their budget.

Consider Refurbishment

But, an option some fire departments are choosing is a complete refurbishment. Instead of replacing an apparatus, they partner with a qualified, experienced fire truck repair facility to update their truck — usually at a fraction of the cost of a replacement.

Our team at Brindlee Mountain is highly qualified, with one of the largest collections of EVT Certified and Master Certified Technicians in any one location. These technicians have extensive experience refurbishing used fire trucks.

Two Almost Identical Trucks

In the past few months, we had two “almost identical” trucks enter our inventory at firetruckmall.com. Both are Pierce 75’ Quints.

This unique inventory gave our operations team a chance to take one of the two through a short journey in our refurbishment process.

Stock #11816 — 2009 Pierce 75’ Quint has been left in the condition it arrived on our campus. For the pictures, it was cleaned, but no other updates were made.

Stock #11818 — 2008 Pierce 75’ Quint received a new paint job, updated seating upholstery, and several other cosmetic improvements.

Take a few moments and look through the pictures to see the updates, or take a look at the videos for each truck: #11816 and #11818.

The updates for #11818 are small, but they make a huge difference — turning a tired truck into one that shines.
