Seagrave Fire Apparatus

Seagrave Fire Apparatus designs and builds severe-duty fire apparatus and is the oldest continuous fire apparatus manufacturer in the United States. Founded in Detroit, Michigan in 1881, the company has operated from Clintonville, Wisconsin since 1963, where its entire product line is designed, engineered and built under one roof. It acts as a single-source manufacturer, integrating design, construction and assembly within a single operation.

The product range covers custom pumpers, tankers, rescues, hazardous materials units, rear-mount and tractor-drawn aerials, rear- and mid-mount platforms, articulating water towers, commercial wildland and brush trucks, and custom chassis. A distinguishing feature is the 'safety cage' cab, constructed from 3CR12 stainless steel and designed for occupant safety and dependability in severe conditions.

Technical work at Seagrave spans fire apparatus manufacturing, vehicle design and engineering, stainless steel cab construction, and chassis design and fabrication. The company emphasises lifetime value under the most severe operating conditions, and its apparatus serves fire departments across the United States, among them FDNY, Los Angeles and Baltimore. More than 140 years of continuous manufacturing operation underpin the business.
