Clintonville WI

Today Pixie and I drove out to visit my favorite customer - Seagrave Fire App. These are the most incredible trucks. Seagrave fire trucks were a huge part of the 9/11 recovery. When the World Trade Center buildings were attacked NYC used many of their Seagrave trucks to help in the recovery. There is one story about the second tower. When it came down a number of men dived for cover inside of the cab of the truck. Their structures are so strong that althought the truck was crushed...the men survived. Afterwards NYC placed an order for 54 new trucks. Seagrave sent out letters to all of their vendors thanking them ahead of time for the extra effort it was going to take for all of us to pull together and get these trucks out as soon as possible. They saw us (vendors) as part of the extended Seagrave family. Some of the trucks were painted with American flags and pictures of firefighters. Next time you see a fire truck look for the scripted word Seagrave across the front of the truck.
