Our designers have an all new Fire Apparatus & Emergency Equipment web site
under construction with the objective of having it up and running March 2009.


The information request service for recent advertisers is no longer available.
We will unveil a new and improved version of the service on this web site soon.

The only magazine writing exclusively for Fire Chiefs, Purchasing Committee Members, Trustees, Commissioners, Finance Committees and those whose job it is to buy Trucks, Tools, Turnout Gear and Firefighting Equipment. They read Fire Apparatus & Emergency Equipment Magazine for news and insight to make well-informed buying decisions.

We figured out long ago that our readers - Fire Chiefs, Fire Officers and Firefighters - already know how to operate a pumper, spot an aerial, handle hose lines and vent a roof. And they have all seen enough smoke and flames to last a lifetime.
