I have plenty of KME, Pierce, E\-One, and Spartan horror stories to tell at different degrees so not one fire truck MFG is perfect but some are a ton better than others. The best thing is spec a simple to operate, maintain, and durable rig that doesn't have OEM only components on the mechanical side of the rig (electrical systems, suspensions, window regulators etc.). If you can get 90% of the parts from a heavy truck pasts vendor vs. going to an unresponsive dealer with way over priced parts and incompetent parts changers you will be way a head of the game. Today I can say in my area I can only find 2 MFG's that meet those requirements.
