I live about 20 minutes from where S&S was located when they were operational. BrandFX body works out of Texas purchased them, and currently operates a bucket truck manufacturing facility out of their old site in Fairmount, Indiana. What little fire truck manufacturing they still dabble with takes place in Texas, and that's pretty much just brush and wildland type stuff. They made an appearance at FDIC a few years ago (around 2012 or so) and I spoke with one of their employees at that time, that made a very clear impression that they have no interest in venturing back in to the market that pretty much made S&S with stainless steel tankers, etc. There is a former S&S employee that bought out most of their parts and held on to some of their documents, and was operating a business selling replacement parts for customers, but I'm not sure if he's still doing that or not. Hope this sheds a little more light on it.
