REMEMBER To Sell Your Good Used Fire and Rescue Vehicles for FAIR MARKET VALUE! Firetec Makes the Connection!
December Update

The good news

Sales are up 20% over the last few years. Good used fire trucks and rescue units are desperately needed and we are filling the bill as quickly as possible. If you are selling, remember that Firetec will get fair market value for your department. This means you will have more money to put toward your next new apparatus purchase. Call us today to discuss pricing for your surplus units. It's only fair that you get what it's worth!

The down side

With demand so high, the office has been very busy. And, our enthusiastic customers are long-talkers, so voice mail is a necessary evil. Please don't just call and hang up. Leave a message so that we can get back to you! Question: Why is it that all 4 lines light up at once after about 15 minutes of silence? We sometimes wonder whether there is a secret Firetec cam and you are all laughing as we scramble to figure out who to help first.
