your department isn’t standard
your truck shouldn’t be either
Custom fire apparatus built around how your department operates.
We take a flexible approach to building apparatus - one that starts with how you work.
Every department operates differently.
Your truck should too.
No two departments respond the same way.
Different calls. Different environments. Different challenges.
We believe your apparatus should reflect that.
Anyone can offer options.
Few can build from scratch.
We start with your department and build from there - shaping each apparatus around how you operate, rather than adapting a standard design.

"This is our fourth apparatus with Spencer. Truly caring about our department makes them stand out. Over the years, I’ve recommended Spencer to many colleagues. I wouldn’t do that unless I was highly satisfied with the trucks they build."

Olivet Fire Department, Michigan
"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."
Derek Babcock, Fire Chief
Bangor Community Fire Department, Michigan
