COMPANY PR.OFILE <br />1. Statement of Company Background. <br />Firetec has been brokering the safe of used fire apparatus since 1983. We <br />are essentially the marketing agent for surplus emergency response <br />vehicles, with-the mission to match buyers and sellers of used equipment <br />and facilitate sales at fair market value. We utilize a variety of well- <br />established methods to promote the availability of units and our name is <br />well known in the industry. Firetec has thousands of repeat sellers and <br />repeat buyers. We sell directly, department-to-department, generating <br />market value for sellers, and a fair deal for buyers. All units are sold as-is, <br />where-is. As of May 30, we have sold 87 units in 2012. In the last 10 years, <br />Firetec has sold over 3,500 vehicles. Firetec is the only full time apparatus <br />broker in America. <br />Unlike when a fire apparatus is placed onto an auction side, selling for <br />highest bid, which is usually low, Firetec works more like a real estate <br />agent. We help to establish a fair asking price, and market to waiting <br />departments. Firetec provides information and photos to potential <br />buyers, who ultimately inspect the units and make offers. The city always <br />retains the right to accept, reject or counter any offers. <br />2. Supplier Facilities: <br />We are located in an office in Randolph, Vermont. We reach <br />departments across America, and beyond. We sell within the U.S, and <br />Canada only. Sometimes units are purchased for export. <br />3. Supplier Organization and Staffing: <br />The duo which will work on selling Santa Ana's fleet are Principals of the <br />firm: Barbara Baumann and Jennifer Baumann. Barbara began with the <br />company in 1997 as Advertising Coordinator and ultimately Publisher of <br />Fire Apparatus Magazine, when the two companies (Fire Apparatus <br />Magazine and Firetec) were under the same management. Jennifer <br />joined the company In 1998 as CFO and Apparatus Sales Manager. <br />Owners/ Principals of Firetec since 2002, both have participated in every <br />sales transaction since. <br />25E-11
