Wildthing Type 6 Wildland Fire Truck

Initial-attack capability that goes where the bigger rigs can't.

Overview

The ultimate firefighting machine. Built on a Ford F-550 4×4 XL or a Dodge Ram 5500 chassis, the next generation of ultimate wildland firefighting technology has been unleashed. This Wildland rig is packed with heavy-duty features to tackle any situation — and it’s completely customizable to your district. Spec the pump, tank, foam, lighting, and storage the way you wrote your RFP, and we’ll build it to order in Sioux Falls.

Why departments keep coming back.

Focused on Fire

We don't build garbage trucks in the morning and pumpers in the afternoon. Family-owned and fire-focused, with reps who've been firefighters. We get tight rural roads and bitter-cold operations because we've run them.

Since 1947

Tanks built in-house, not bolted on

Our sister company G3 Fire custom-fabricates MAGNITUDE poly tanks and bodies to your spec. No fiberglass or steel that rusts, cracks, or leaks under torsion. Ultra-durable thermoplastic, engineered to your build.

State-of-the-Art Facilities

Your apparatus is built in a 39,000 sq. ft. Sioux Falls facility engineered for fire apparatus, not a general shop. In-floor 15,000-gallon pump testing, a downdraft paint booth for a finish that lasts, and an indoor delivery showroom where you walk the truck and verify every mount before it's yours.

Purpose built shop.

Service that doesn't end at delivery

We're a factory-certified repair center for Hale, Darley, and Waterous pumps, so pump and hydraulic work stays in-house instead of getting farmed out. And when a component has a factory warranty issue, we deal with the manufacturer directly, so your rig gets back in service instead of your department sitting on hold.
