Wayne Township Fire Department,
which serves 36 square miles of the Indianapolis metropolitan area, currently
operates a Smeal Sirius 75' Aerial that has been in service since
2016. Additionally, the department currently has two Smeal
Sirius Top-Mount Pumpers on order, both of which will be in service
by the third quarter of this year. The Wayne Township Fire
Department has five fire stations and employs approximately 180
first responders and is expanding its partnership with Spartan to
help standardize its frontline fleet of fire apparatus, with the
overriding benefit of providing safe and reliable equipment for its
firefighters, as they serve the citizens and property owners of
Wayne Township.
"Wayne Township Fire Department
has seen first-hand the reliability and performance that a Spartan
apparatus brings to mission-critical operations," said Todd Fierro, President of Spartan Emergency
Response. "We are proud to have been selected to provide the safest
fire trucks in the industry to Wayne Township, and look
forward to further expanding our relationship in the future."
Unveiled at FDIC this week, Spartan's latest Ladder Tower 93'
Mid-Mount Platform boasts a compact package with proven performance
and long-term reliability for which the company is known. The unit
is more maneuverable in tight urban and suburban environments,
allowing for maximum agility and responsiveness in emergency
response situations.
"Continuing our relationship with Spartan Motors was something
that we found instrumental in our partnership with Hoosier Fire
Equipment, as they have played a key role in helping us maintain
loyalty to Spartan," said Chief Randy
Adams of the Wayne Township
Fire Department. "We have enjoyed the quality and professionalism
that we have received from the Spartan/Smeal team and what Spartan
Emergency Response has done to ensure the safety of our
firefighters."
