Ferrara Fire Apparatus, Inc., a subsidiary of REV Group, will showcase their latest innovations in fire apparatus and technology at the FDIC International (Fire Department Instructors Conference) in Indianapolis, Indiana, from April 27-29, 2023. Ferrara Fire Apparatus is a leading manufacturer of custom-built, heavy-duty fire apparatus.

REV Fire Group will host a happy hour and live walk around of the Tractor Drawn Aerial with Jeremy Donch from National Fire Radio and Steve Crothers from TractorDrawnAerial.com. The company will celebrate first responders at the event and follow the theme of “Protecting Those Who Protect Us.”

REV Fire Group’s Vector, the first North American-style fully electric fire truck, will return to FDIC. Vector uses 327 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of proven automotive-grade batteries, delivering the longest electric pumping duration in the fire industry. The design also features low battery cell placement, offering a safer, lower centre of gravity for enhanced stability while operating.

Ferrara’s “Take Command” stance will be showcased at Booth #3701. The display will feature two aerials and two custom pumpers, including Inferno® Tractor Drawn Aerial, Walk-In Heavy Rescue from Washington D.C. Fire & EMS Department, FC-94 Top Mount Pumper from Chitimacha Fire Protection District, Inferno HD 100 Platform from DePere (WI) Fire Rescue, and Igniter Custom Pumper from Glenrock (WY) Fire Department.

REV Fire Group will also offer a special FDIC promotion on the Active Air Purification System, which eliminates 99 percent of pathogens, including the virus that causes COVID-19, in the air and on surfaces. Attendees can receive 10% or $150 off their order for these units, and two units will be given away through a drawing on Friday and Saturday.

Mike Virnig, President of REV Fire Group, said, “Ferrara is a leader in the industry with custom-built fire apparatus designed to meet today’s demanding conditions. We look forward to seeing you at FDIC and are excited to share with you the latest in fire trucks and innovations.”
