In the last 10 years, Firetec has sold over 3,500 vehicles. Firetec is the only full time apparatus broker in America.

We help to establish a fair asking price, and market to waiting departments. Firetec provides information and photos to potential buyers, who ultimately inspect the units and make offers. The city always retains the right to accept, reject or counter any offers. 2. Supplier Facilities: We are located in an office in Randolph, Vermont. We reach departments across America, and beyond.
