Apparatus Information
General Safety Equipment Corporation was an American fire apparatus manufacturer located in Wyoming, Minnesota. It is now the General Safety Division of Rosenbauer America.
Minnesota Fire Equipment Company 1930s-1956
General Safety was formed in Lindstrom, Minnesota in the late 1920s when blacksmith Elmer Abrahamson built a truck for his hometown fire department. He formed a company called Minnesota Fire Equipment Company and delivered trucks to a number of departments in his immediate area. in 1939, the remaining fire apparatus business assets of the W.S. Nott Company were transferred to the Minnesota Fire Equipment Company. The company moved its manufacturing facilities to North Branch in the late 1940s and changed its name to General Safety Equipment Company in 1956.
General Safety Equipment 1956-1995
Growth continued through the 1950s, 60s, 70s and 80s, as the company built trucks on commercial chassis for fire departments in Minnesota and surrounding states. In the 1970s, the company introduced custom chassis with the International CO-8190 cab and Seagrave chassis and they also added 55', 65' and 75' TeleSqurt made by Snorkel.
Production was moved to a new plant in Wyoming in 1992. In 1995, General entered into a partnership with Rosenbauer and now builds trucks under the Rosenbauer name for fire departments in the US and Canada. http://fire.wikia.com/wiki/General_Safety_Equipment_Corporation
The light tower on this vehicle will provide excellent scene lighting on your response. Whether lighting a wreck scene, or making sure your fire fighters have the light needed to prepare for work, this truck can provide that.
With under 25,000 miles, this used fire truck has been very well taken care of over its life. There should be plenty of life left to respond to emergency calls in your own fire department with this piece of emergency equipment.
Changes in NFPA in 1991 significantly increased fire fighter's safety when operating a fire truck. Buying a used fire apparatus newer than this year will bring those safety features into your firehouse as well. The enclosed cab which was required in 1991 and forward brought fire fighters out of the elements of weather, and into the safety of the fire apparatus cab.
