Firegeezer.com posted an article HERE about Spartan Motors, Inc., the parent company of Crimson Fire, Spartan Chassis, and Utilimaster, announcing their purchase of Classic Fire, LLC in Ocala, FL. Classic builds a line of fire apparatus including small rescue units, commercial pumpers and tankers, wildland/brush units, and skid units.

Firegeezer also has some commentary on the direction he feels the fire apparatus industry will be heading. You can read his thoughts HERE and HERE.
