With a pumper or engine being the "heart and soul" of every fire department, in times of more immediate need relevant to delivery and/or limited financial resources, locating a suitable used fire apparatus may be the best path to pursue.
When doing so, identifying alternatives to explore and possibly buy used rigs is made simple via Brindlee Mountain Fire Apparatus (www.firetruckmall.com). This includes their powerful digital Fire Truck Finder tool. With years of used fire truck experience and the most abundant access to hundreds of vehicles, Brindlee Mountain Fire Apparatus is the industry hub for used fire trucks when it comes to finding just what a fire department needs.
Options for Every Department
Whether small rural volunteer or large metro career paid fire department, used pumper or engine product configurations suitable for broad applications can be sourced via Brindlee Mountain Fire Apparatus. This includes those on both:
- Commercial chassis products — Freightliner, International, GMC, Kenworth, Peterbilt, etc.
- Custom chassis models — Pierce, Rosenbauer, E-ONE, Sutphen, Spartan, HME, etc.
Moreover, various body designs with compartment layouts and hosebeds, water tank sizes, and rated pump flows can be found to meet the given requirements of a jurisdiction or local community.
Selling or Trading Your Apparatus
Outside of finding a used pumper or engine to purchase, if a fire department has an existing, pre-owned vehicle to sell or trade, Brindlee Mountain Fire Apparatus is continuously searching for qualified fire apparatus to potentially buy. A multitude of factors are important to the value of a used pumper, including:
- Age from original manufacture
- Mileage and hours
- Water tank size
- Rated water pump flow capacity
- Most recent pump certification
Additional features impacting the possible worth include whether or not there is chassis undercarriage corrosion; the body compartment storage capacity for accessory equipment and tools; and added options such as a foam concentrate proportioning system with an integrated foam concentrate storage tank.
