A Striking Toyne Lineup Set to Make 2022 FDIC Appearance

Breda, IA (April 20, 2022) – As one of the world’s largest fire & rescue conferences, FDIC International draws grand crowds of industry professionals, and Toyne, Inc. is preparing for a strong presence at this year’s event. The Iowa-based fire apparatus manufacturer will present their latest fully customized trucks from April 28 through April 30 at the Indiana Convention Center in Indianapolis.

Toyne’s lineup for FDIC in 2022 will be notable, as the manufacturer is set to showcase two purpose-built apparatus for the Wayne Township Fire Company #2 and Crockery Township Fire Department. Both departments have graciously volunteered to have their apparatus displayed at the conference.

And taking center stage at the Toyne booth (#1839) is an aerial specifically built for the needs of Wayne Twp. This truck is the third Toyne Tailored Apparatus for the New Jersey fire department. The aerial features a 100-foot rear-mounted platform ladder, a 400-gallon UPF tank, and a 2,000-GPM Hale Qmax pump. Along with Toyne’s custom-built storage solutions, such as rear slide-in equipment stowage and wheel well storage for 16 SCBA bottles, this apparatus fully supports the demands of Wayne Twp. firefighters.

Another powerful presence that’ll be on display is the Crockery Twp. pumper. This response-ready Toyne apparatus is equipped with a 1,680-gallon UPF tank, 1,500-GPM Waterous CSU pump, TFT Monsoon RC monitor (with 18-inch electric riser), booster reel, and 2.5-inch rear direct tank fill. The bolted painted stainless steel body features roll-up compartment doors, rear slide-in above compartment storage for hard suction hoses, and rear slide-in storage for ladders and pike poles.

“We put a lot of effort into ensuring our apparatus meet the operational demands of fire departments, no matter their size,” said Mike Schwabe, President of Toyne, Inc. “Toyne’s capabilities will be on full display at FDIC, and we are proud to show these builds to attendees at this year’s event.”

The Wayne Twp. aerial and Crockery pumper will be showcased in the Toyne booth (#1839) at the Indianapolis Convention Center. FDIC International hosts six days of firefighting workshops, networking, exhibitors, and demonstrations.
