Feb. 14, 2012

Unruh Fire, Inc. has recently acquired the Renegade Aircraft Rescue Firefighting Vehicle line
and related property from Crash Rescue Equipment Service, Inc. More than 100 Renegade
ARFF vehicles have been sold in the last 10 years.
“We are thrilled to enter the ARFF market after many years of working with municipal and
military fire departments. We were attracted to the quality and reputation of the Crash Rescue
Renegade Trucks. Unruh Fire already specializes in high quality custom firefighting vehicles and
will add the Renegade ARFF trucks to its product line. Furthermore, we are excited about
offering firefighters with greater firefighting capability using the Tri-­Max technology,” said Alex
McDonald, President of Unruh Fire.
The Renegade vehicles are typically built on Ford F-­550 chassis with aluminum or poly bodies
and are available in many different configurations. One configuration consists of a Tri-­Max High
Energy Cold Compressed Air Foam Twin Agent system, generating four (4) times the foam of
conventional systems. This system ranges from 100-­500 gallons and is combined with dry
chemical and utilizes the Hydro-­Chem technology.
A second configuration is a pump-­driven system containing 100-­750 gallons of water and 500
lbs. of dry chemical also using the Hydro-­Chem technology. Larger Renegade trucks, from 500
to 750 gallons, for example, are available on a larger chassis, such as the International
DuraStar.
Unruh Fire manufactures custom brush trucks, rescue trucks, ATV firefighting systems and
custom trailers ranging from Command to Rescue Trailers. In 2009, Unruh Fire purchased the
Marco Firefighting Product Line which consists of High Pressure Skid Units. You can find out
