Due to the cost of a new apparatus, and the virtualpig, lack of funding, other avenues had to be explored "to procure the apparatus. With the knowledge of firefighting and the experience in fabricating, Chris Ferrara and other members of the Department embarked a upon quest to build their ow P q n tanker. After many hours of hard work and dedication, this group of 9 P young 9 firemen, led by Chris Ferrara, delivered the new tanker fire truck to their department in Central, at a savings that amounted to thousands of dollars. This feat led the gray for a career change for Chris. In 1979, Chris founded a firefighting equipment and supply distributorship, which he operated out of his home. Ferrara Firefighting Equipment represented many of the Indust 's top P suppliers and manufacturers of firefighting equipment and supplies. It also beta pp me the largest sales and service center in the South for the nations leader in vehicle extrication equipment and the third largest manufacturer of 9 fire apparatus. In 1983, Ferrara Firefighting Equipment was officially incorporated. orated. In order to keep up with the fast growing needs of the fire industry,a full scale service, e, warranty, and repair center was opened, which provided preventative maintenance and repair on existing apparatus and warrant service repairs new Y p an apparatus. From 1983 to 1987, Ferrara Firefighting Equipment, Inc. functioned solely as a full sales and service center for several major apparatus manufacturers, and, in early 1987, expanded to offer the industry the capabilityof major refurbishment ma� t of _s apparatus and the assembly of pre -built fire bodies and fire urns on ne s pumps wand 27855 lames Chapel Road a P.O.

In 1987, the focus of the Company began to change one again, and the desire to meet the customer's individual needs became paramount. Ferrara Fire Apparatus began by manufacturing mainly commercial urn ers, p p tankers, mini pumpers, and service/utility vehicles. Ferrara Fire Apparatus was officially incorporated in 1987, which marked the beginning of the manufacturing of an extensive line of fire, rescue, and specialty vehicles that were marketed nationwide, with recent deliveries to the Philippines and Indonesia. The entire marketing focus rapidly changed from a regional builder to a manufacturer of fire and rescue vehicles nationwide. The number of apparatus delivered between 1980 and 1987, prior to Ferrara's expansion, was approximately 20 to 25 trucks per year. By 1992, Ferrara Fire Apparatus, Inc. was ranked as the tenth largest U.S. manufacturer of fire apparatus, with a delivery of 103 units. Today, Ferrara Fire Apparatus, Inc. ranks among the nations top five fire truck manufacturers, delivering as many as 290 custom and commercial fire trucks across the nation. No other fire apparatus manufacturer in the U.S. has grown as rapidly and with such dynamic results as Ferrara. The dreams and ideas of a volunteer firefighter have indeed become a reality, and, with those ideals, carve Ferrara's new home in Holden, Louisiana, which Chris Ferrara laid out and designed around the actual production stages. In August 1994, Ferrara Fire Apparatus, Inc. relocated to their new 110,000 square foot, state-of-the-art manufacturing facility, located between Baton Rouge and New Orleans. The facility is equipped with the latest technology equipment ui ment q p available on the market today and easily the most modern in the nation. To meet the increasing demand for their fire apparatus, and in concert with the introduction of the Inferno custom fire chassis, Ferrara Fire Apparatus, Inc. expanded the Holden facility to 150,000 square feet in 1998. Faced with a growing volume of sales for innovative Inferno custom fire chassis, Ferrara Fire Apparatus, Inc. opened its Zeeland, Michigan chassis production facility in 1999. This strategic Michigan location provided Ferrara with the opportunity to recruit a highly skilled workforce with the experience necessary to begin producing the Inferno custom fire chassis quickly and efficiently. While new truck sales were steadily growing, Ferrara Fire Apparatus, Inc. saw an increased demand for good quality pre -owned and used fire apparatus. A dominant player for many years in the refurbishment and resale of used fire apparatus, Ferrara Fire Apparatus, Inc. increased their Used Fire Apparatus Division by once again expanding the Hoiden, Louisiana facility to it's current size of 200,000 square feet. Ferrara's extensive line of fire apparatus ranges from a full line of commercial pumpers to their own custom designed fire apparatus, which includes pumpers, Attachment A, Page 15 of 198 tankers, hazmat units, large and small rescue vehicles and a complete ' p to line of aerial ladders and platforms. Taking the`cue from major business enterprises that stress the initiative of filling customer wants and needs, Ferrara now offers the "market driven" concept to the fire service customers. Just as no two fires are identical, no two fire departments p s are exactly alike. Ferrara is the only fire apparatus manufacturer in the industry that offers its customers the widest variety of body styles and construction y materials, from Galvanneal steel, aluminum, and stainless steel; modular and unitized all -welded bodies, to Ferrara's premium all extruded aluminum. The corporation's commitment to top quality, premium service and outstanding performance at an affordable price has been the trademark of Ferrara and has directly contributed to the success and reputation it is fortunate to enjoy in the fire service industry. At Ferrara Fire Apparatus, Inc., the customer is considered to be a'very valuable asset. FFA listens to its customers and is, therefore, able to devise many of the innovative ideas available on the market today.

With Chris' keen focus on marketing advantages and his aggressive approach to unsurpassed service and integrity, and quite simply, giving the customer what they want, he continues to research the market in search of development of future designs and new production concepts.

Box 248 Holden, LA 70744 Dear Chris, ERIC BACH Chief I hate writing letters and memo's, but this letter is going to be a j oy to write. Our department can't be more happier with the new ladder truck we have received from your con parry. It is a great truck and will serve our community very well. Your entire staff, from day one, worked with us in a very professional, honest and straight forward manner. Paul Stevenson was very knowledgeable on the truck and answered. several questions we had on our visit to your facility. Skip Heiser was great to work with. I emailed and called him so many times with questions, but he always had the answers .I needed. and had them quickly. The proposal consideration information he sent to me was very valuable in dealing with the Mayor and City Commission. I believe you are lucky to have a man like him on your staff. Our delivery only took one month and his recent delivery took about 9 months, you think he would take the things he learns from work home with him. I don't know what to say about Chief Hurst. He was a joy to work with and I was so looking forward to coming back to just talk with him but the storms put a stop to that. I can tell he takes his job very � seriously and seems to love this job. Its not often you find someone like him to work with. I think people like him don't come around very often. He is also a great asset to your organization. If you know of anyone in our area who is looking for a ladder truck I would be glad to show them ours. I have been impressed with your company and look forward to working with you in the future. -/Res e t�Bacfull rih Fire Chief Attachment A, Page 25 of 198 TELLICO VILLAGE VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPT., INC. �� - • - �� M -62W b: Pr000IL � per: �e asked a � geoea then went ftht to wank: I Stay ew. ot'd of his wayff but watek . ft dtdWt takes me long to- reatte that. bero wow a Mao who. not only was ble about the phe was warming *14 but aft* on e-as h"10.

As you can imagine I often face some negative situations while doing my job. while at Ferrara the novelty of a female in my position was approached with a respectful. curiosity. when it carve tune to talk business every person in that plant treated me with professionalism and regard. I found this to be true at the Texas Fire Officer Conference iu Corpus Christi as well. Let me thank you for the opportunity to show off our new truck in Wichita Falls at the State Firemen's & Fine Marshals' Association of Texas Annual Conference. You and your people are very gracious hosts. I once saw a sign in an office that said, "If you like our service...... tell everyone. If you don't....tell us."

As you might suspect it brought back a flood of memories, remembering major fires I attended and seeing one (or more) of these ladder trucks in action on those same incidents. One of the great things about excellent apparatus is, while there's more than enough to worry and be concerned about at fires, outstanding fire apparatus such as you at Ferrara provide is not one of therm A good feeling I might add. is or so it seems is the photo background of "3 River Stadium," which like Iron p g t longer myself is no there in. Pittsburgh (new stadiums); however, it brings back many Y memories as well. I'm comforted though knowing when called upon, these four Ferrara Ladder Trucks continue to "lead the way" in Pittsburgh's fire fighting work. They provide what every fire fighter really wants in fire apparatus well designed, well built, and most importantly dependable!

We feel that this attitude reflects in the duality of the products they manufacture. In addition to the friendly, courteous, and helpful nature of the employees in the plant, there are several others that went above and beyond to ensure that our stay was an informative and enjoyable one.

He offered advice on technical aspects that were unfamiliar to us and never left a question unanswered, no matter hove insignificant. Lis expertise and professionalism in fire truck manufacturing, along with a personable nature, were a great help in a process we were unfamiliar with.

As I told Bob just the other day, Ferrara has always had a great product, but I believe that you now have everybody's attention. I know I am proud to have two Ferrara apparatus as my first out fleet. I hope to continue that trend in the near future. If I may ever be of assistance to you, please do not hesitate to call upon me. Sincerely, ly D.

Box 249 Holden, LA 75744 Dear Chris, TELEPHONE (601) 467-4736 I wanted to personally thank you for the high value you place on customer service and the quality of the people you employ to deliver the exceptional service for which your company is known. You know already how important the new Ferrara 1750 pumper is to the City of Bay St. Louis. We have had newspaper and television coverage receiving our newest Engine 1, more coverage as our firefighters were trained on the use of the truck. Of course, we have been enjoying serious bragging rights throughout the county because of having the newest pumper on the block with our special innovations. You can imagine my Captain's dismay when returning from a training run she discovered large amounts of hydraulic oil leaking from the area of the A.M.P.S. unit on Friday evening at 8 p.m. I was notified immediately about the leak and called the 809 number provided for emergency warranty service. This call led me to the voice mail of Mike Supal Ferrara's service/warranty advisor. I honestly did not except to have my call returned for serval hours. After all, it was Friday night, 8 p.m., prime time for dinner and relaxation. I was not only surprised, but ashamed for even being concerned about a return tail, because within 15 minutes of leaving my message Mr. Supal returned my call. I explained our serious situation and was promised that a service technician would be on site that night. At 11:30 p.m. Gerald Mizell, delivery engineer, arrived at the Bay St. Louis station to inspect Engine 1 and confirm that the problem was in the A.M.P.S. unit. He said that he would return later in the morning with the proper parts to make repairs or replace the unit. At 9 a.m. Saturday morning Supal called to let me know that another A.M.P.S. unit was on its way while Mizell was removing the damaged unit from the pumper. The repairs were completed and Engine 1 back in service by 4 p.m. that afternoon. My staff and I were kept informed throughout the repair process. Attachment A, Page 58 of 198 We never had the chance to be concerned that we would not be able to have Engine I returned to service quickly in order to insure the public's safety in Bay St. Louis. Your employees were prompt, professional, and knowledgeable. I know that it's your job to honor our warranty. I know your reputation for customer service. However, I have never worked with a company that so thoroughly stands behind its work, thank you. My parents raised me to believe that a man's word is his bond when he shakes your hand. I'm glad to shape your hand and the hands of your employees any day. I will be sure that the Mayor and City Council know how fortunate we were to select Ferrara to build and service Engine 1.

Safe, dependable and efficient job. Pe c� nt equipment �s essential to their success on the and for their safety, so seeing our new engine under construction was very special. The organization of the Ferrara plant and the workstations for the vehicles under construction was very impressive. Safety is obviously of primary importance to your company, followed by the quality of ui rneni. Your work q �our e y equipment rk areas were free of any debris; the work carts were organized and brash free. Your shop employees. were clean and neat in dress. The overall friendliness In the smiles and nods to strange visitors made me feel very welcome. I can well understand wh Chief Gava nie is . , . Y g proud to be making our purchase through your company. With his military background he is a stickler for organization and holds his . 9 s company to very high standards. Ferrara exceeded what I know to be his demanding expectations. On a side note I was surprised and pleased to see a woman on the work floor at what appeared to be a metal cutfing station. I admire women who meet the challenges of non-traditional professions and business owners and managers with no prejudice. I want to thank you for the time you took to show me the plant and explain Its operations. The growth of the company and its product development makes me envious of the community that is so fortunate to have Ferrara as a corporate Citizen.

Before he did this, I would not have purchased this particular truck. Dave Carlton worked with me diligently on pricing and options before we bid the truck and after t the bid was accepted. We visited the shop on three occasions, pre -construction, mid --construction, and final acceptance. All shop employees that we encountered were very helpful and knowledgeable. The workmanship on the pumper body is excellent. The truck went on the assembly line three days before New Year's Day and was finished on March 13, 1999. we placed the order in mid -December.

Ferrara Firefighting Equipment, Inc. P.Q. Box 249 Holden, LA 79744 RE: Fire Apparatus Service Dear Mr. Ferrara: On August 29, 1998, the Orange County Emergency Services District ##1 developed what we thought was a serious problem with one of our new FFA fire apparatus. Normally would not have been too concerned because I would simply make a telephone call to your company and the warranty Department would correct the problem. However, this incident did worry me because it was approximately 6:15 a.m. Saturday morning. Not knowing what type of help I would receive, I telephoned your company. 1 followed the directions on your answering machine not really expecting to hear from your company until Monday morning. To my surprise, and pleasure, Mike Supal called me right back. He advised me that he would start working right away to have someone over here that morning to correct the problem. I am pleased to say that before 11:99 a.m. Russell Rabin was setting at our fire station. While the problem did not turn out to be as serious as we thought, Russell corrected it and showed us how to avoid the problem in the future. Chris, I am writing this letter simply to say that I appreciate the level of service that you provide your customers. Your warranty department has always addressed my problems, no matter how small they may have been. This latest example of your companies commitment to stand behind what you sell is a breath of fresh air. In todays' world of fly- by-night salesman and companies, it is good to know that you and your people really do care about, us the end users.

The truck we purchased from Ferrara just turned one year old, and I could not be more pleased with the duality of the truck. It has met our expectations in every aspect; performance, quality of workmanship throughout the vehicle, and the overall looks of the truck. we are truly pleased. While I'm at it, I want to brag about a couple of your employees. Eric Adams has called me personally several times during the past year to insure that our truck was operating as expected, and I really appreciate the interest he has shown. Doug Bradford took over -our account in early 1997, and I have never had a More considerate, knowledgeable, and respectful salesman call on me. Doug has never come across as pushy, yet he is always prompt to return my calls, regardless of where he is or what he is doing. I appreciate that in a salesman. As far as I'm concerned there is none better than Doug.

I wish to comment on the manner in which I and the members of my staff were treated by your company. The treatment was outstanding. In particular, please extend my thanks to Glyn Harding, Joel Domingue, and Mike, from quality control for the outstanding and cordial manner in which I was treated. More than just being treated as a customer, having purchased a piece of fire apparatus, it was my impression that they sought to make me a friend rather that just a customer. Such cordiality and concern for the welfare of customers and the desire to make them friends is to be applauded. In conclusion, again my thanks to all the personnel- at Ferrara Fire Apparatus, Incorporated. - fo-r.-:the outstanding -- service and courtesy shown to me and to my staff. And And personally, we think that the apparatus that we bought will be a welcome addition to our firefighting fleet. If you wish to discuss this or any other matter I will make myself available upon request.
