Your company builds an amazing compact skid unit. For its small size it delivers a big punch! Thank you for building us an amazing mini fire rig!

Just wanted to send your company a quick note in our departments pleasure with your Firelite Deluxe skid unit FDHP303/200. We received our completed Brush truck (HOT SHOT which was named by our elementary school in a contest) last week and began training our personnel immediately on the use of the skid unit. The set up of the skid unit made training simple and the performance of the unit is excellent. Thank you for a great product and I would definitely refer your company to other departments for the quality and great customer service.

Thanks again for the great piece of equipment, and the excellent customer service. The whole ordering, purchasing and delivery process was second to none, everything went smoother than I could have ever expected.

Operating at 1 of 3 working fires today. 2 brush fires and a structure fire that extended into the woods. Once again the Firelite transport performed flawlessly!

Just wanted to send a note of appreciation. The Cumberland Trail Fire District in St. Clairsville Ohio just put into service a new Firelite unit. The installation was very simple and and the operation of the unit is very user friendly. We were able to procure the unit by means of a grant from ODNR. Thanks again for a great product!

Thank you for the hard work you folks did completing our unit in time for our event in September. Unfortunately, we had record rain during the event. As such, we didn’t have much call to utilize the MEDLITE®. The great quality and craftsmanship, however, was noticed by a number of folks who saw it. Again, thanks for the great service!

2015 Polaris Ranger Crew with Kimtek bed. Used for search and rescues and PR events. I had the joy of building this for the company, where I work as a Medic. About a week after putting it in service I used it to search a rural area for a lady that got lost and wrecked out in a creek. Has also been used multiple times for PR medic standbys. The bed is great. We use a scoop/board combo to haul patients flat. And the storage is plenty big for what we need. Great product.

We have 3-4 of these in our county.. bought them all at same time.. group purchases, saved money.. Love them, the owners and Company are great to work with. We love our skid for our ATV, when we did need assistance... Not only were you there. But you took care of it expeditiously.. And I believe with service like that to our Dept (Coudersport Fire Dept) others need to know. Thank you!

Thank you for your prompt delivery. Just a quick note to remark on the high quality workmanship of the FIRELITE®, which I took delivery of last Thursday. We put it to work immediately—fits like a glove in the truck, works like a charm, and looks spiffy. I’ll rest a lot better at night knowing we’ll have it on hand for prescribed burns. Thanks—and congratulations on an excellent product and a refreshing willingness to meet a customer’s needs.

Thank you for the quality in your products. We operate in one of the most harsh deserts & your product is holding up to the conditions.

I’m pleasantly surprised by the level of customer service you provide! We will get a lot of attention with this unit.

Great units, great functionality, and well built. The staff is so friendly and easy to work with. Well worth the money to purchase these units. We have both a fire and EMS unit for our different operations

We will testify as to the durability, endurance and all around great performance of this unit! Since being placed into service in 2011, the FIRELITE has responded to over 100 incidents, from a 700 acre forest fire & Hurricane Sandy to multiple medical evacuations from hard to access places. The FIRELITE has proven itself to be a great investment. We truly recommend it to any department looking for a versatile skid unit!

Thank you for the seamless, hassle free, purchase experience. Wish every company we deal with was this hassle free. Thanks Again. We hope this unit will serve Decatur for many years to come

Hello! Well when I went out on a limb, after 4 years of trying to get a Polaris Ranger my Chief said it's all on me. Then I hit him with the extra cost of the medical skid! Oh he thought I was Crazy! Well today, Sunday over a 1/2 a mile from any beach access point we had our first trauma injury. I do send you a BIG THANK YOU for your product. After locating the victim and securing some passing people to help, I headed back to pick up EMS and there equipment. We utilized the skid for transport back to the EMS vehicle, without breaking a sweat. Your product worked like a charm. Thank You!
