Apparatus Information
The American Fire Apparatus Company, also known as the American Fire Apparatus Division of Collins Industries, was an American fire apparatus builder located in Battle Creek, Michigan, Marshalltown, Iowa, Hutchinson, Kansas and Ball Ground, Georgia.
The origins of American Fire Apparatus date back to 1922, when Benjamin Barton designed a small gear-driven centrifugal pump that could be attached to the front end of any truck. Patented as the Barton Portable Fire Pump, the American Marsh Pumps division of the American Steam Pump Company began marketing the units as a cheap and effective alternative for small town fire apparatus.
Initially, American Marsh sold only the pumps. However, in 1937, a new division, the American Fire Apparatus Company, was formed to build complete fire apparatus. The trucks were equipped with front-mount or midship Barton pumps and fabricated apparatus bodies. Orders for fire trucks increased substantially after the Second World War and apparatus was delivered under the AFA and Barton names. The company continued to specialize in lower-cost apparatus on commercial chassis for smaller departments. A new plant was opened in Battle Creek in 1948 and a second plant in Marshalltown, Iowa in the mid-1950s.
AFA expanded their offerings somewhat in the 1950s and 1960s with aerial apparatus equipped with Memco and Grove ladders, as well as trucks using custom Cincinnati cabs. In the 1970s, some aerial trucks were built using Snorkel and LTI platforms.
American Fire Apparatus was sold to Collins Industries in 1978. The Battle Creek plant was closed and operations moved to Hutchinson, Kansas. Collins sold AFA in 1986 to a new owner who moved the operation to Georgia. Operations there ceased in 1994.
The name American Fire Apparatus was purchased by a Kentucky businessman in 2004. A few trucks were built and delivered to departments in Kentucky and Tennessee before operations ceased in 2006. http://fire.wikia.com/wiki/American_Fire_Apparatus_Company
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.
