What Departments Say

  • Spencer Manufacturing has been an integral part of our Fire Department family for more than 30 years. We are proud to still have a 1993 front-mount tanker in service - built by Brian Spencer in his barn - and even prouder to say that every piece of apparatus in our current inventory was either built by or outfitted by Spencer Manufacturing.

    Bangor Community Fire Department, Michigan

  • Throughout all 40 years, SHAES has been proud to enjoy a strong and trusted partnership with Spencer Manufacturing, who has exclusively supplied all our new fire apparatus. That relationship has been built not only on the exceptional quality of their equipment, but also on their unmatched reliability, service, and dedication to the fire service.

    Brandon Hinz, Executive Director
    South Haven Area Emergency Service, Michigan

  • The Spencer team consistently went the extra mile to ensure our specific needs were met, demonstrating a genuine commitment to customer satisfaction.
