What’s the secret to a fire truck that stays in service for decades? It starts with the body! 🚒

I am showing off our raw All-Poly® bodies today. These are 100% polypropylene from front to back, designed specifically to solve the biggest headache for fire departments: corrosion.

Whether you’re dealing with road salt in the winter or "less than perfect" water sources, these bodies won't rust, chip, or peel. Plus, with a transferable lifetime warranty, you’re making a smart investment for your department’s future.

Check out the video to see the thickness and durability for yourself!

Day one!

And they’re off! 🚨🚒 It was a loud and proud send-off last week as our FDIC showcase trucks hit the road for Indianapolis. 🏁

Our team has put in countless hours to get these rigs show-ready, and seeing them roll out with lights and sirens is always a highlight. We’re bringing a fantastic lineup this year and we can’t wait for you to see them in person.

Will you be at FDIC? Drop a comment below if you’re heading to the show, and make sure to stop by the Midwest Fire booth to say hi! 👋🔥

Nothing like a firsthand look at our first responders in action! 🚒

I was just visiting the team at the Barrett Fire Department when the call came in for a grass fire.

It’s incredible to see how quickly these guys go from zero to sixty to keep the community safe.

Let’s show some love for the men and women who are always ready to answer the call! 👏🔥

Hey everyone, Joe here with an update from the shop! 🚒 Our latest mini pumper build for FDIC 2026 is moving fast. We’re pairing a Waterous 1500 GPM CX series pump with a diesel F-550—this rig is going to be a powerhouse!

Inside, we’ve installed custom front and rear consoles to keep everything organized and accessible. The body should be mounted in just a few days, bringing us one step closer to the finish line. 🏁

This unit is already sold, but we’d love to start a conversation about building a custom mini pumper for your department. Give us a call or drop a question in the comments! 📞🔥
