Holden, LA – The Louisiana Workers’ Compensation Corporation has once again selected Ferrara Fire Apparatus as one of the top 70 safest companies in Louisiana. Only 70 companies out of over 18,000 insured companies are chosen by the LWCC. This is the fourth year in the last five that Ferrara has received this award.

The LWCC Safest 70 is awarded to companies in Louisiana and acknowledges excellence, outstanding performance and a strong commitment to workplace safety. Through our effectiveness of safety efforts and controlling cost, we have made a positive difference in our company, our employees, the firefighting industry, and the LWCC.

Ferrara Fire Apparatus is a premiere manufacturer of custom built, heavy duty emergency response vehicles. Our superior strength and performance of the trucks we produce comes from the core of our company, the men and women who build each one by hand. Keeping our employees safe through procedures and management is the only way we can continue to insure the strength of our company and the trucks we build.
