Apparently, there will be a Mexico-based fire truck manufacturer displaying this year. I've never heard of them until seeing the ad in Fire Engineering this evening.

They've been at FDIC the last couple of years with trucks including an International Durastar with some kind of special water system, and a Black and Green Ram mini pumper last year.
Trav!

They are the only "for real" apparatus manufacturer in South America. They've been at FDIC for many years. I've wondered if we'd ever maybe ever see a truck in the US, along the border. Their build is very similar, if not a copy, of E\-One.

Quiroga Trucks are located in Mexico, making them North American ... their web site indicates they have a branch in Texas named Qualified Fire Tech LLC, McAllen, Texas.

Geographically, true. I meant south of the United States' border.

No problem Kent. Maybe one of our members from Texas has some more information on this outfit.

I haven't seen any of their apparatus up my way. Maybe down close to the border.
