We’re rounding out our throwback look at apparatus deliveries with one from late last year - this sharp Sutphen custom pumper delivered to the SouthPoint FireDept.

Built on a Sutphen Monarch Extreme Duty chassis, this custom pumper features a Hale 1500 GPM pump, extruded aluminum body with a lowered hose bed, enclosed ladder storage, and more than 220 cubic feet of usable compartment space. The truck is also equipped with a Whelen LED warning light package and Fire Research Spectra LED scene lighting to maximize visibility on every scene.

A great-looking and highly capable apparatus built to serve the South Point community for years to come. Thank you to the South Point Fire Department for the opportunity to be part of this project!

❄️🚒 Throwback to this past winter’s delivery to the Village of Mackinaw City Fire Department 🚒❄️

Their new Sutphen engine officially made its way home during some true northern Michigan weather. And before anyone points it out — no, this wasn’t a recent delivery… the snow on the ground definitely gives that away! 😄

We’re proud to have been part of bringing this new apparatus to the department and appreciate the opportunity to serve the Mackinaw City community. Stay safe and enjoy the new truck!

As we catch up on some deliveries from recent months, we’re proud to share that Bokescreek Fire/EMS Dept in West Mansfield, OH has taken delivery of an Alexis Fire Equipment 3,000-gallon tanker.

This unit is built on a Freightliner 114SD chassis and features a Waterous CXV 1,500 GPM pump. It’s equipped with a 3,000-gallon dump tank and a Newton rear swivel dump, making it a highly efficient asset for water shuttle operations and quick dump cycles on scene.

A big thank you to Bokescreek Township Fire Department for their continued trust and partnership—we appreciate the opportunity to be part of this important addition to your fleet!
