CHARLOTTE, MI—Spartan Emergency Response, a business unit of Spartan Motors, Inc., is advancing its global position in safety-driven product design with an extended order from the National Fire Departments Association (Junta Nacional de Cuerpos de Bomberos) in Chile. This eight-unit order, built on custom Spartan chassis, adds to an already 114-truck Spartan fleet in the country, 10 units of which were delivered in 2018.

Spartan has supplied highly customized apparatus to meet the specialized needs of Chile’s geography and demographic since 2012. The National Fire Departments Association’s Spartan fleet extends to cover multiple categories, including rescue units, salvage, ventilation, overhaul, and traditional fire extinguishing for this highly customized market.

“In the midst of serving communities around the world faced with natural disasters and dense populations across diverse geographies, first responder safety remains our top priority,” said Todd Fierro, President of Spartan Emergency Response. “Our universal impact starts with the men and women who put trust in our team and our products.   Our earned reputation as having a safe, reliable, and consistent product, regardless of the level of customization, goes beyond borders.”

This add-on order includes highly customized trucks built to the specifications of the National Fire Departments Association through its close partnership with Spartan’s dealer in Chile, Pesco S.A.

The extended order includes two distinct models, including C7 and C8 ladder tender designs. The C7 ladder tender is used to maximize space for carrying a significant number of ground ladders and personnel in the cab. The C8 ladder tenders are designed to maximize space and carry firefighters on the apparatus. The National Fire Departments Association’s custom C8 model features exposed side-mounted ladders for quick access and deployment.

“Night 2 Day shows how the Revolution Series works. The award winning series turns darkness into daylight with fewer lights and lower amp draw. Our first responders need reliable illumination the most during the night in order to carry out their heroic duties and keep us all safe,” said Matt Barker, Director of Marketing for TOMAR. “The Revolution Series combines our patented technology with the latest LED technology to keep first responders, the community, and budgets safe in emergency situations.” While this promotion was initiated for first responders, there are many other industries who can take advantage of this promotion!

The Revolution Series features internal optics for maximum scene illumination without the need to angle light heads, making installation easy. The Revolution Series utilizes several design elements to reduce operating costs for emergency departments and those requiring reliable lighting solutions. The surface mounted series reduces installation costs by utilizing unsealed mounting holes, eliminating stress fractures during installation and maintenance. The patented waterproof design with built-in venting system allows unwanted elements to quickly escape, reducing maintenance and repair costs.

The Revolution Series won the Most Innovative Warning and Illumination Product Award from EMS World in 2017 and TOMAR’s Revolution Multi-Function Series (mfR) was recently awarded EMS Today’s Hot Product of 2019.

Two camper vehicles were completely destroyed by a fire in Centralia Monday morning, displacing their residents, according to the Riverside Fire Authority. Crews were dispatched at 7 a.m. to an address in the 700 block of West Carson Road. When firefighters arrived, they found that the fire was not accessible for their trucks because the campers were on the other side of a “deteriorated, unrated bridge,” according to the RFA.
