Founded in 2007, FMI delivers fully customized compartment management solutions and contract manufactured components for fire apparatus and emergency response vehicles. The FMI team has developed strong relationships with OEMs, municipalities, and first responders across the U.S. FMI will run as a stand-alone entity operated by founders Terry Albert, Dennis Summers, and Daryl Summers.

FMI’s recently expanded 100,000 square foot facility will see significant investments from ISG involving new hires, information technology, administration, and the full support of AMDOR’s dedicated U.S. and Canadian Sales and Marketing team. The co-founders of FMI have wrapped up their thoughts on the deal in one word: “Epic!”

ISG has always prided itself on delivering products designed by engineers, not accountants. FMI’s philosophy and people-first culture are powerful additions to our integrated product lines. The team at FMI is a great match for our organizational mission, business environment, and ongoing commitment to creating safer vehicle access solutions.

“I want to thank and welcome the entire FMI team. The combination of our two organizations further strengthens our pursuit to be known as the best design partner and engineered access solutions manufacturer to specialized vehicle markets.” Bruce Whitehouse, President, INNOMOTIVE Solutions Group.

Chilmark voters unanimously approved $11.1 million to build a new fire station and a separate headquarters for Tri-Town Ambulance, reports MV Times.

Efforts have been made for years to provide Chilmark firefighters with a replacement for their cramped, deteriorated, and asbestos-lined station.

The vote paved the way for the ambulance service for Aquinnah, Chilmark, and West Tisbury, to have a standalone place to call home.

Hattiesburg city officials and first responders gathered at Fire Station #9 to celebrate the new station’s opening, reports WDAM 7.

The fire department posted to Facebook, “Today was a good day to cut the hose on Fire Station #9! Fire Station #9 is located at the intersection of Hwy 49 North and Irby Road and will service North Hattiesburg. The station is approximately 10,000 square feet, accommodates two fire trucks (ladder and pumper) and a battalion chief truck. It sleeps eight with room for growth and expansion if needed.A lot of people made today possible, and we’re grateful to be equipped with a state-of-the-art facility to serve the citizens of Hattiesburg along this commercial corridor.”
