Dear Pam & Paul:

Thank you for a great experienced in the purchase of our new 109ft. Rosenbauer Aerial.

Brian Nolan
Past Chief
Jamison Road Fire
Cowlesville Fire Company

This letter is to inform you and the Jamison Road Fire Company of the experience that the Cowlesville Fire Company had with Fire Trucks Plus.

After ALF filed bankruptcy and could not build the truck we had ordered we were forced to look elsewhere in order to use our FEMA grant. After many long nights of searching we came across Fire Trucks Plus website. We found that they had a 2004 Freightliner Pumper Tanker that would meet and exceed our needs and within our price range. After talking to Paul Batista from Fire Trucks Plus and communicating thru emails, they flew two of us to California to look at the truck. The truck was everything that they had told us it was and then some. They made our trip very enjoyable with no pressure. We were allowed to look the truck over when we arrived with no one looking over our shoulder. When we arrived at their facilities the next day the truck was up on jacks for us to look at the underneath, once again by ourselves. Paul and Paul Jr. did stop by to see if we had any questions or comments at regular intervals. After looking over the truck they filled it with water and we took it for a test drive up the mountain. When we returned they went over the pumps and foam system and let us run it. We were very impressed with the truck and decided that this was truck for us.

Paul and his staff were a great help to us with dealing with FEMA. We had a lot to deal with and they were always there for us.

Our truck was delivered on schedule on a flatbed on May 19. They also took care of all the paperwork for the title.

We can not say enough about how well we have been treated and the great people they are to deal with. They truly do stand behind there motto of "Equipment you can count on and people you can trust."

We will definitely look at Fire Trucks Plus first for our next purchase.

Fire Trucks Plus, Inc. sold to Panther Creek Volunteer Fire Department our 1988 Peterbilt Robeson Pumper.

Pamela:

Just wanted to let you know that no lettering will be required as we have department decals already on hand. Thank you for the information on the generator, but we are planning to keep the one off of our old pumper. As I told Paul yesterday we cannot express enough gratitude to your company. We know that this purchase was far from the monetary amounts that I am sure many of your newer apparatus bring, none the less you have been 100% professional and courteous. Fire Trucks Plus is by far the finest dealer we have ever dealt with and we are proud to recommend your services.

Thank you, Chief David Smith, PCVFD

Dear Paul and Pam,

On behalf of the CIM-Chino Fire Department, I would like to personally thank you for your sincere generosity by your decision to not only graciously donate, but to also completely refurbish a much needed emergency fire apparatus for use in our department.

Your dedication and personal commitment to the Fire Service is most certainly noteworthy and without your generosity, our department would have remained severely hindered in providing the emergency response capabilites as required of us.

Thanks to your assistance, this donated and refurbished fire apparatus will be utilized in potentially saving lives and property.

Again, I cannot thank you enough for your unequiocal generosity to our department.

Sincerely,

Dear Paul:

I wish to take this opportunity to thank Pamela and yourself for the professional assistance while purchasing our aerial truck.

Your service from the beginning was accurate, prompt, and professional. The apparatus you represented was better than advertised. Through the visit and on-site inspection, your gracious hospitality was remarkable.

Your company has also demonstrated its commitment to its product with dependable warranty schedules. This newly acquired equipment to date has proven its worth on serveral fires.

In conclusion, I would highly recommend your staff and company to any department while purchasing an apparatus.

Attn: Paul Batista

Dear Paul and everyone at Fire Trucks Plus,

I can't start to tell you how pleased we are with the truck and service we received from Fire Trucks Plus. The 1996 Ford Rescue we received was everything we could ask for and so much more. Fire Trucks Plus provided us with a truck and service that exceeded all our expectations. When the truck arrived it was ready for service, which on the day of arrival it made its first run and hasn't failed to make one since. The staff at Fire Trucks Plus has been very helpful with ensuring that we were pleased with the truck and answered any questions we have had about the truck. The biggest surprise was how you made us feel during the purchase process and after we received the truck. We felt like we were the only department you were doing business with. You always had time to answer any questions we might have and took the time to get to know all you could about our department to ensure that we would be satisfied with the truck and it would meet all the requirements we had. It has been a pleasure doing business with Fire Trucks Plus and we look forward to doing more in the future. Thank you from everyone at the Wann Fire Department.

Sincerely,
Skip Blackburn

Dear Paul, Pamela and Fire Trucks Plus staff,

 

Fire alarms go off in Marietta, Oklahoma and we respond, but when the fire page went out with our needs, Fire Trucks Plus heard and responded by providing a perfect matching pair of fire trucks.

 

Not only providing the greatly needed equipment but delivering them to their new home in Marietta, Oklahoma.


We could not have asked for a better group of people to go above and beyond the call to insure we received top of the line equipment. The personable interaction between Marietta Volunteer Fire Department’s representatives and Paul and Pamela was most appreciated and refreshing.

 

The entire experience from the initial call through the delivery through the subsequent questions or needs has been great.


We would be proud to recommend Fire Trucks Plus to any fire department looking to improve their fire fighting fleet.

 

Sincerely,

Marietta Volunteer Fire Department

Paul,

I want to personally thank you for the work that you have done on our fire truck that we purchased from you. The job was outstanding and to date we have not found a problem with it. I want to share the thanks with everyone involved with the repairs needed to be done.

I know that you could have told us that it was our problem and to deal with it, but you did not and that means a lot to us as a small town fire department. I will definitely give you a good reference to who ever I speak with. I will tell you that the board even said the same thing long before the truck even got to us. Just wanted to let you know how much this was appreciated and I do believe that when you all say you want to earn our business you mean it.

We will definitely consider calling on you in the future for any apparatus needs that we have. Thanks.

To Paul, Pam and Paul Jr., Thank you for your tireless dedication to doing the right thing. Sometimes we (the fire service) get caught up in the day to day activities and allow little things to slip through the cracks. Your company does not allow that to happen. You pay close attention to detail and make sure that your clients are getting the best bang for their buck. You look after the fire service by not allowing anything to leave your maintenance shop without it being checked, double checked and corrected. It's nice to know that there is an honest company to deal with in this time of less then honest company's. Thank you for your dedication for making things right. We have purchased a Water Tender and Type I pumper in the past 6 months and the units are top notch. Thank you Respectfully,

Cheif Shane Salugh and Asst. Chief Chief Levi Pummel

On behalf of all of us at the Naples Fire Station we would like to thank all of you for the extra time
you took with us. We would of never been able to fullfill our stations dream without all of you. The time you
took to show us the Royal treatment and your patience with our city and the slow moving of our grant and your
payment.

We can't tell you how happy we were to finally be able to see the truck being unloaded at our station.
We even paged out all of our people. It was like kids in a toy store, they lifted every door, sat in every seat
and of course drove it all over the city. The next day we used it in the special olympic parade.

The extra specical treatment was hard to beat, If you do that for all of your customers then your rate #1
in our book. You guys and girls are the best.

Thanks again,

You guys are a top of the line company and The St. Thomas Twp Volunteer Fire & Rescue Company is grateful to have done business with you Paul and Pam.

Paul Jr did a wonderful job in getting things prepped. You are a 1st Class Company All Around. Just call me for a reference because your people take real good care of your customers as far checking up after the sale... not like some companies (that take the attitude) it's yours and (the buyer) never hears from the seller again.
