Press releases from the Ferrara website:
AERIALS
Holden, LA – Ferrara Fire Apparatus, Inc., America’s premier custom fire apparatus manufacturer, has been awarded a three year contract by the City of New York to manufacture FDNY’s new 100’ rear mount aerials. With the initial purchase orders, which stem from a competitive bid this past summer, Ferrara will provide ten aerial apparatus.
“This is obviously a significant contract for our company,” said Ferrara President and CEO Chris Ferrara, “not only because it’s New York City, but because it demonstrates the commitment to our core philosophy of building heavy duty, highly customized fire apparatus. New York will certainly be a tough proving ground, but our engineers and craftsmen are always up to the challenge. We have had a great business relationship with FDNY for years and our vehicles have served them well.”
Ferrara Fire Apparatus has supplied many specialty apparatus to FDNY over the past eight years, beginning with the well known Spirit of Louisiana in 2001. Their other fire trucks in service to FDNY include high pressure pumpers, satellite pumpers, collapse rescues, decontamination trucks, medium duty rescues and the well known Haz Mat 1.
The vehicles are designed around the Ferrara LP-102, a low-profile rear mount aerial ladder. The new aerial trucks will be built on Ferrara custom chassis, featuring a newly designed stainless steel split tilt cab, a four section rear mount aerial ladder and a stainless steel body. Having a narrow width, tight turning radius and low overall height, the trucks will be built to accommodate the congested streets of New York and easily fit in the FDNY’s many historic fire stations.
RESCUES
Holden, LA – Ferrara Fire Apparatus, Inc., America’s premier custom fire apparatus manufacturer, has been awarded another large contract by the City of New York. Under the terms of the newest agreement, Ferrara will supply FDNY five heavy rescue trucks. The rescues will be built on Ferrara’s heavy duty Igniter chassis with a stainless steel tilt cab. In December, the announcement was made of Ferrara’s order for ten new FDNY 100’ rear mount aerial ladders.
Ferrara has supplied various types of vehicles to FDNY over the past eight plus years, beginning with the well known Spirit of Louisiana in 2001. Their other fire trucks in service to FDNY include high pressure pumpers, satellite pumpers, collapse rescues, decontamination trucks, medium duty rescues and the well known Haz Mat 1.
Chris Ferrara, President and CEO of Ferrara Fire Apparatus, commented on the latest in a string of orders his company has received from large metropolitan departments, “The new FDNY heavy rescues fit right in with our heavy duty, customized construction philosophy. While these rigs are built to strict FDNY standards, at their core they are heavy duty, 12 gauge stainless steel cabs and bodies.
“When our company builds vehicles like these, it can benefit many of our customers. Features unique to FDNY trucks are seen by other fire departments when they visit our Louisiana factory. As a result, many of those specialty items find their way to other trucks all across the country.”

Seagrave still has the FDNY contract. The shame of it is that Seagrave will lose that two then go out of business just like every builder has done in the past with FDNY. Hell the wannenties for both FDNY and DC kill dealers and the MFG. we shall see.
