Every truck we sell ends up in someone’s bay. Here is what the chiefs and committees who bought them have to say about how it went.
From the time we saw the first pictures until we took delivery, Command Fire was up front on the condition of the truck. The truck was in very good condition, not junk. If there was anything wrong with the truck they took care of it. We would definitely purchase another truck from Command Fire.

In Their Own Words

Seventeen departments, named and on the record. No anonymous quotes, no stock photos.

Command Fire had a truck that we wanted and money is tight. I asked about a trade on our truck. I sent him pictures and a description of our truck and the next day I called and Glenn said that we could do that. This was a win win for both. Our new (used) truck runs great and pumps awesome.

Our experience with Command Fire far exceeded our expectations. Jared’s dedication and understanding made the otherwise complex process feel seamless. The quality of the vehicle and the exceptional service provided by Jared and Command Fire Apparatus truly made a difference.

Glenn Usdin and his staff were honest, knowledgeable, personable and accommodating. There were no surprises in our dealings with this company and would not hesitate to purchase an apparatus from them again. I would also highly recommend this company to other departments.

Our department was extremely satisfied. Every aspect of business that was handled was very easy and to the point. No grey areas were found at all. Very friendly service as well. I’d recommend Command Fire Apparatus and hope to deal with them if needed in the future.

We looked at some trucks on the used market that were over 30 years old, but were happy when we found this 6-year-old, low mileage cherry truck. It saved our township over half a million dollars and will last for us for many years.

[Jared] took good care of me when I flew in…even picking me up personally at the local airport. Bethann was helpful when it came to title work, shipping and payment. I am tremendously pleased with the entire process.

When I first contacted Command Fire and got in touch with Glenn, he was very enthusiastic about helping us out. He answered every one of my questions. He never seemed irritated with all the questions I asked.

Command is very easy to do business with; the whole process was smooth. We actually have recommended Command Fire Apparatus to some of our neighboring departments who loved our truck when they saw it.

We were under a bit of a time crunch once state funds were made available to us to buy a ladder truck with a chassis and ladder that fitted the bill.
