Fire Apparatus / In Process
Portfolio
Our work
Real photography from the FES shop floor in Sumter, South Carolina. Apparatus, fabrication, and the people doing the work.
Types of Work
What moves through this shop
Fire apparatus built on commercial chassis. Aluminum and metal fabrication, from full bodies to compartments, racking, and storage. Practical engineering that turns requirements into parts. And specialty vehicle work that puts all of it together. Detailed project case studies are coming; the photos below show the work itself.
Fire apparatus
Engineered bodies, compartments, plumbing, and equipment integration. The core of FES production.
Fabrication
Aluminum and metal work: cutting, forming, welding, storage systems, and specialty components.
Engineering
Application-driven design, integration, and the handoff that keeps drawings honest on the floor.
Specialty vehicles
Upfits and purpose-built platforms that carry apparatus discipline beyond the fire service.
