REV Fire Group, comprised of REV Group, Inc. fire apparatus manufacturing subsidiaries, announced the appointment of Fire Truck Solutions (FTS) as the official E-ONE® AND KME® dealer in Arizona, Colorado and Nevada. Fire Truck Solutions is authorized to sell and service the complete portfolio of E-ONE and KME apparatus.
FTS recently acquired the fire truck dealership from H&E Equipment Services and will continue to offer sales, service, and parts to all customers in the territory from the existing locations in Phoenix and Denver.
Plans call for relocating the dealership to new locations in those cities in 2024 to accommodate expected growth and to launch mobile service for maintenance and repairs across Arizona and Colorado. The new Phoenix facility will feature 20,500 square feet of warehouse space and 3,700 square feet of office space, with an expected addition of 12,000 square feet.
FTS principals are John Gellhausen, Steve Slatzer, and Mark Julien, H&E’s former leader of fire apparatus sales and service with more than 20 years of experience.
“This is an exciting opportunity for our team at Fire Truck Solutions and we look forward to our new partnership with REV Fire Group,” says John Gellhausen, principal, FTS. “We’re positioned for growth and service to exceed our customers’ expectations prospectively.”
“We are very committed to growing the E-ONE and KME landscape in Arizona, Colorado and Nevada,” says Larry Daniels, senior director of sales for REV Fire Group. “John Gellhausen and Steve Slatzer’s solid financial and business experience combined with Mark Julien’s extensive E-ONE fire apparatus sales and customer service experience makes for a winning partnership. It’s for those reasons we believe Fire Truck Solutions will make a great addition to our network of dealers for E-ONE and KME.”
