TRUST EARNED THROUGH EXPERIENCE
"This is our fourth apparatus with Spencer. Truly caring about our department makes them stand out. Over the years, I’ve recommended Spencer to many colleagues. I wouldn’t do that unless I was highly satisfied with the trucks they build."
John Collins, Fire Chief
Olivet Fire Department, Michigan
"Spencer Manufacturing has been an integral part of our Fire Department family for more than 30 years. We are proud to still have a 1993 front-mount tanker in service - built by Brian Spencer in his barn - and even prouder to say that every piece of apparatus in our current inventory was either built by or outfitted by Spencer Manufacturing."
Derek Babcock, Fire Chief
Bangor Community Fire Department, Michigan
"Our department is rural with limited manpower. So we spec'd an odd truck with identical controls on both sides. Almost all the other manufacturers flat-out said no. And Spencer figured it out.”
Kurt Nass, Fire Chief
Hadley Township Fire Department, Michigan
