Do you have the proper equipment to keep your community safe? How about in rural, off-road areas that large trucks can’t reach?

That sounds like a job for a brush truck.

Brush trucks are essential for fire departments serving rural communities. They ensure that any fire can be met with a crew ready to put it out.

Brush trucks bring versatility to fight fires both small and large in off-road situations.

The devastation caused by forest fires and wildfires has rapidly increased over the past two decades and continues to rise. According to Wildfire Today, 2017 came close to a record-breaking year for the number of acres burned by wildfires. In total, 9,781,062

acres were destroyed by fire, which is 49% higher than the average over the past 10 years. Visit their website to view many visual graphs that describe the increase in wildfire disasters.
