WE BUILD CUSTOM TRUCKS:
Not Cookie-Cutters
See below for our truck specifications and ideas for customization on truck and firefighting options.
There is no build or customization we'd shy away from.
​
Custom bodies, warning lights, compartmentalization packages, pump and water tank packages... If you want it, we can build it.
No matter what, we always incorporate high quality off-road features and firefighting gear to make your job safer, easier and more effective.

Our goal is to build brush trucks that are durable, will keep you safe, and will put out wildfires in the most demanding environments.
