Meet The Fire Truck Ladies
Fire Departments trust Firetec because experience matters.
Firetec was established in 1983. Jennifer and Barbara started in the business in the late 1990s. Since then, we’ve built long-standing relationships with fire chiefs across America—many of whom still refer to us as “The Firetec® Girls.” Over the years, we’ve had the privilege of meeting thousands of you across the country at trade shows and industry events.
As the fire service evolved and new generations of officers moved into leadership roles, the nickname naturally evolved as well. Today, we are known as The Fire Truck Ladies—same personal service, backed by decades of added experience and industry knowledge.
Focused on One Mission
Our sole focus is matching qualified buyers with quality used fire apparatus.
For more than 40 years, Firetec® has remained consistent in this mission. We do not maintain our own inventory. That means your apparatus is never “bait” on a website—It is represented by experienced industry professionals who guide both buyers and sellers through a fair transaction.
Powerful Partnering for Buyers
We take the time to understand your department’s needs, budget, and operational requirements. Our role is to identify the right apparatus when it becomes available and notify you when matches come to market. We do not charge a Buyer’s Fee.
Powerful Partnering for Sellers
Our mission is to help your department achieve fair market value for your apparatus while ensuring a smooth, professional transaction.
Buyers typically inspect apparatus in person, and payment is made directly from buyer to seller. Firetec invoices the seller only after a successful sale.
Motivated Marketing
We don’t get paid until your apparatus sells.
Because we do not carry inventory of our own, every listing receives focused attention and active promotion. Our daily priority is putting your apparatus in front of qualified, motivated buyers.
Proven Results
Our performance speaks for itself:
- 41% of listings sell in 1–7 days
- 14% sell in 8–30 days
- 10% sell in 31–60 days
- 12% sell in 61–90 days
That means 77% sell within 90 days.
Customer Service That Responds
We pride ourselves on responsive, knowledgeable, and straightforward service. Our goal is to make the buying and selling process as smooth and stress-free as possible for fire departments nationwide.
Firetec was built in an era of printed catalogs, mailed listings, and trade shows. We’ve evolved with the industry—from postcards and printed listings to today’s digital marketplace with real-time communication, online listings, and nationwide reach.
While the tools have changed, one thing has stayed the same: real people behind every transaction. Fire departments can still reach us directly by phone, text, or email to speak with someone who understands the used apparatus market.
The tools have changed—but our experience, relationships, and commitment to the fire service have not.
