CHARLOTTE, Mich., June 18, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Spartan
Emergency Response ("Spartan" or "Spartan ER"), a business unit of
Spartan Motors, Inc. (NASDAQ: SPAR) ("Spartan" or the "Company"),
at last week's New York State
Association of Fire Chiefs (NYSAFC) Conference and Expo, showcased
the Moyers Corners Spartan Rescue Pumper, including its
safety-first design, which took place June
12-15, at The Oncenter in Syracuse, New York. The Spartan rescue
pumper, "Engine 32," has been recently added to the Moyers Corners,
New York, Fire Department's
emergency response fleet.
"Replacing [our previous truck], Rescue 3, with a rescue engine
is a radical change for us, and in some ways marks the end of an
era for Moyers Corners," said Moyers Corners Fire Chief,
Ed Wisnowski. "Engine 32 will allow
for more efficient responses to many types of emergencies, while
still providing the same level of exceptional service our community
has come to expect. It also will reduce our fleet cost over the
long run, which helps keep our financial commitment to the
taxpayer."
With a full line of custom and commercial pumpers, Spartan
offers unique safety features and innovations to better support
fire and rescue teams. Designed specifically to improve performance
and extend vehicle life, Spartan's rescue pumper offers a
stainless-steel tubular body, and the Vibra Torq body-mount system
which delivers a smoother, more responsive ride.
"We pride ourselves on being the most reliable rescue
manufacturer in the industry. When lives are at stake, emergency
responders from towns like Moyers Corners have split seconds to
ensure a solution is realized," said Todd
Fierro, President of Spartan Emergency Response. "Our
advanced design, engineering and manufacturing acumen ensures our
units exceed the needs of the departments and the communities they
serve."
The largest fire industry rescue and EMS expo in the Northeast,
the NYSAFC Annual Conference and Expo offers fire chiefs classroom
education programs, training opportunities, and exhibit space for
apparatus displays.
