The exchange = 1986 for 2009 from Texas to Maine.
That is 'why' we are in business, helping a local fire department upgrade their apparatus, within a set budget to better serve communities. For the community of Fryeburg, Maine that meant removing a 1986 pumper from service and replacing it with a 2009 Ferrara Pumper from Texas.
The reason for the needed exchange was stated this way by the Chief Dufresne of Fryeburg Fire Department
The older truck, a 1986 International, was taken out of service due to a failed water pump. Repairs would have cost $18,000, said Dufresne. “That led us down the path of buying the used 2009 Ferrara.”
The connection for the exchange was Fire Truck Mall. A few clicks through the available trucks and firefighters from Maine found a truck that updated their service. From those clicks one of our team made a personal contact which moved the upgrade from search to reality.

We are in business to serve. It is one of our values, but we strive daily to live it out in our actions.
