BRANDON, SD – Oct. 14, 2024 – Spartan Emergency Response, part of REV Group, Inc., and a leading manufacturer of fire apparatus, is building four custom pumpers for Toledo Fire & Rescue Department, with the trucks expected to be delivered by the beginning of 2026.
In October 2023, the Toledo Fire & Rescue Department asked the Toledo City Council for $3.2 million from the Capital Improvement Fund to purchase four fire engines. The purchase marks the first time the Toledo department has ordered Spartan Emergency Response fire apparatus. Johnson’s Emergency Vehicles Solutions, the Spartan Emergency Response dealer for Ohio, worked with the department to determine their specifications and to design an apparatus customized for their operations and built efficiently to fit into their budget.
Toledo Fire & Rescue department has 18 active fire stations and seven support buildings with almost 600 professional firefighters who respond to over 60,000 calls a year.
“Johnson’s Emergency Vehicle Solutions was able to help us source much-needed fire apparatus,” said Chief Allison Armstrong, Toledo Fire & Rescue Department. “We look forward to receiving and putting these pumpers into service to help protect the city and people of Toledo.”
“We’re delighted to introduce Spartan Emergency Response to the city of Toledo,” said Tony Johnson, dealer principal, Johnson’s Emergency Vehicle Solutions. “We are optimistic that our partnership will evolve and grow as Toledo continues to.”
The four custom pumpers are built on a Spartan MetroStar LFD cab and are designed to meet the unique needs of this large city with:
- Custom body with a low hosebed
- Custom ladder and hard suction storage rack on the truck’s right side
- 500-gallon water tank
- 30-gallon foam cell for an external eductor system
- Hale QMax 1750 GPM pump
These units were sold by Jesse Sopko, Ohio Sales Manager for Johnson’s Emergency Vehicle Solutions.
