About Rosenbauer America

Rosenbauer is the world’s leading manufacturer of custom fire apparatus and equipment. Rosenbauer offers the industry’s most comprehensive line of advanced custom and commercial pumpers, heavy rescues, tenders, mini and rescue pumpers, aerial ladders and platforms featuring SMART Aerial™ Technology, and the RTX fully electric fire truck.

Ocean City-Wright firefighters recently held a push-in ceremony for its new Engine 1 and put the apparatus in service.

See pics of the event below.

And the apparatus has already seen action on numerous calls.

Marquette County is set to purchase a new $621,201.52 emergency vehicle.

The apparatus is a 2023 Pierce Rescue 131 and will be used to support fire calls, accidents, and search and rescue missions. It can also refill air packs.

It will replace a truck that has been in service for about 30 years. It will take about two years for it to be put into service.

The agenda from the meeting at which the purchase was authorized can be seen here.

The Springfield Fire Department Tuesday donated a fire truck to local vocational school Capital Area Career Center, reports newschannel20.com.

The 1994 Luverne is unable to respond to calls, so now it’ll be used as a teaching tool.

Officials consider the donation a win-win. And it’s not the first time Springfield has been generous with its apparatus:
