HME Ahrens-Fox is proud to bear the torch
Ahrens-Fox, manufacturer of the first motorized fire engine and the renowned piston pumper, serves as the fire truck icon of the 20th century and our North Star.
The custom tanker has been a great addition for the Johnsonville (NY) Fire Department. I hope to be able to work with Erin Maxon (HME Dealer) and the rest of the guys from HME again. It was a pleasure.
