!FERRAR.A FiR.E APPARATUS, INCORPORATED
INTRODUCTION
In 1977, Mr. Chris Ferrara, President and CEO of Ferrara Fire Apparatus, Inc.,
was employed as a pipe fitter/fabricator by one of the nation's largest
petrochemical refineries located in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Additionally, Mr.
Ferrara contributed many hours to his community by volunteering his services as
a member of the Central Volunteer Fire Department.
Chris soon realized and understood the many restraints placed. on many fire
departments. As a rural fire department, Central's lack of water supply to
adequately service their community, created an extreme need for a water tanker
to assist in firefighting operations. Due to the cost of a new apparatus, and the
virtual 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 upon a quest to build their own
tanker. After many hours of hard work and dedication, this group of young
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 way 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 industry's top
suppliers and manufacturers of firefighting equipment and supplies. It also
became the largest sales and service center in the South for the nation's leader
in vehicle extrication equipment and the third largest manufacturer of fire
apparatus.
In 1983, Ferrara Firefighting Equipment was officially incorporated. In order to
keep up with the fast growing needs of the fire industry, a full scale service,
warranty, and repair center was opened, which provided preventative
maintenance and repair on existing apparatus and warranty service repairs on
new apparatus,
From 1983 to 1987, Ferrara Firefighting Equipment, I nc. functioned solely as a
full sales and service center for several major apparatus manufacturers, and, in
early 1987, expanded to offer the industry the capability of major refurbishment of
apparatus and the assembly of pre-built fire bodies and fire pumps on new and

used chassis. 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 pumpers,
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, came 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 and equipment
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 Holden, 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 11 of 262
tankers, hazmat units, large and small rescue vehicles, and a complete fine 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 drivenll concept to the
fire service customers. Just as no two fires are identical, no two fire departments
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
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. To this end, Ferrara Fire
Apparatus, Inc. is the only fire apparatus manufacturer in the country that
provides its customers a 24-hour emergency hotline for warranty and service.
Service after the sale is a mainstay at Ferrara. Everything built by Ferrara's is
designed to be easy to use, easy to service, and tough enough to give many
years of dependable service. Every product is backed with the best warranties in
the business. Additionally, Ferrara's dealer network spans across the United
States, Canada, and internationally with successful sales and service centers
throughout. Ferrara services their customers with the acquisition of top quality
personnel from across the fire service industry.
The future looks very bright for Ferrara and it's team. In the design of the
Holden, Louisiana facility, Chris Ferrara left no reason for doubt that Ferrara Fire
Apparatus, Inc. was to playa major role in the future industry of fire service.
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. Even for the future, the customer
service approach in construction makes Ferrara Fire Apparatus, I nc. a cut above
the rest.
It has been our pleasure to introduce you to our company, Ferrara Fire
Apparatus, Inc., and we welcome you to the FFA Team!

was realf' · the way I wanted it. An
there was some problems wit were going to put some 3 ft by 3 ft lifting bags. Little Charley
Favrot and Ladonna were there to meet US and once I told him were I thought they may fit he got the
fab shop there and started immediately. There was also a guy that worked in the back (I don't know his
name). He had ordered some lettering for the front of the truck. When it came in it was the wrong size.
Instead of him Just installing it, he told me NChief I don't think this is going to look right". So we
reordered the lettering and when he installed it, it was fantastic. My day at Ferrara Fire was really an
inspiration. I got to talk to you and some fire fighters from California and it was really a great day. As
you probably know two weeks after we put this great piece of equipment into service on Friday the 13th
at 11:00 pm a woman who says she did not see the truck with all them LED's on it. She must have been
blind drunk. On Saturday I called Matt and told him what had happened he said you got to be kidding. I
said I wish I was, I was really upset. I told him I wanted to send the truck to Ferrara Fire to be repaired.
He said he would handle it. Monday morning we towed the truck to Ferrara Fire. Upon arrival they
were waiting for us. Two or three employee's came out to help us and show us were to put the truck. It
was really great when I got there that I did not have to go and look for someone. They just came out
and took charge. Blane was in a meeting, but came across the street before we left. He looked at the
Attachment A, Page 21 of 262
truck and I asked him how long he thought it would take for repair. He said it looked like 45 to 60 days.
Which I told him I would like to have it back sooner if possible but if not whenever. Blain called me in a
little over two weeks and said I could pick up my truck on Friday. I think Blain and his guys bent over
backwards to get our unit in and out as soon as possible. They did a great job on the truck. You cannot
even tell it was wreck unless you know it. This is not the first truck I have taken into service with Blain
and they always do an excellent job in a timely manner.
Chris, thank you for being there and thank you for building this fantastic rescue unit.

Dear Chris:
The Hickory Point Fire Protection District commends you and all of those who worked very hard to
handcraft our Igniter Pumper H-4119.
Our journey with this rig began with your Mid-West Sales Manager Representative Gary Hickman.
Gary carefully worked with Mark Nixon of A.RC. Fire Equipment in Springfield, Illinois. Both
worked hard in seeing that our needs were met and a).ways took time to call and see if everything was
all right.
The construction of the cab, frame and body are no doubt the best in fire apparatus construction.
The process, from the initial plant tour, specification writing, contract signing, pre-build meeting,
pre-paint meeting and final delivery was exemplary. Salesman Mark Nixon, to Production Manager
GIyn Harding, the apparatus line staff and office staff, exceeded all of our expectations.
We were very impressed that you provided a web site showing up to date photos of all current
apparatus under construction. This was an exciting way to keep us connected as we watched our unit
being built.
From beginning to the end, every team member we spoke with always had time to answer any
questions. Words are hard to express the amount of appreciation for all of you at Ferrara Fire
Apparatus.
We will be proud to serve as a reference for Ferrara Fire Apparatus craftsmanship.
Sincerely,
Donald Tankersley

Dear Chris,
I hate writing letters and memo's, but this letter is going to be ajoy to write. Our depaliment can't be
more happier with the new ladder truck we have received from your company. 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 alld answered several questions we had
on our visit to your facility.
Skip Heiser was great to work with. I emailed alld called him so many times with questions, but he
always had the answers I needed alld had them quickly, The proposal consideration info1TIlation 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 leal"ns from work home with him.
I don't know what to say about Chief Hurst. He was ajoy to work with and I was so looking forwal'd 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 his 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 allY one 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.

As you are aware we received our new Rescue Truck last week and we are
extremely pleased with the unit. The workmanship and attention to details is outstanding.
Everyone of our firefighters is pleased and proud to have this addition to our fleet.
In addition I wanted you to lrnow that Mike Anthony was very responsive to our
needs and kept us informed of the progress. The rest of your staff and plant personnel
took care of any needs we had, which were very few, and worked hard to make
everything right.
I lrnow there are a lot of people in the fire service who you can never please, no
matter what you do. Therefore, if you would pass along ajob well done from Caddo Fire

Dear Mr. Ferrara,
Ferrara's reputation is second to none. But you will agree a company is. only as good as
its employees. It is for this reason we write you.
Our dealings with Ferrara have been most enjoyable and beneficial. The pinnacle of this
association has been your Mike Richards. What a most outstanding ambassador for your
company. Yes, Mike does an excellent job when performing his service work. But what
is most refreshing of all he is in continual contact with us, the customer, as to our needs.
It is his dedication to service and to the customer which has enhanced the reputation of
your company throughout the fire service. As a result, we do not hesitate to speak highly.
of Ferrara when the opportunity arises to do so.
In closing I, on behalf of the men and women of our Department, would like to thank yo'u
for being there for us and we look forward to our continuing relationship with your
Company.

Dear Chris:
I want to personally thank you for the time and materials that your company
put into Truck 61. It was an honor for us to be able to allow Ferrara to display our
new truck at FDIC. The many great compliments received on the rig are a direct
reflection upon you and your company by means of taking a vision and turning
into reality.
We have now had our engines in service for almost six months. Our tankers
have just been placed into service. We are working daily with the ladder and
rescue. I have to tell you; in my twenty five years of service, these trucks are truly
the finest pieces of apparatus that I have had the privilege of operating.
I will be sending you a formal invitation however, I would like to remind you
that Saturday, June 3rd, we will be having a small dedication ceremony for our
fleet. Since you have bu1lt these outstanding machines, we would very much like
to have you come and say a few words.
I look forward to offering our truck to you for the IAFC Conference this
September and I look forward to a lasting relationship with your fine company,

Dear Chris,
The officers and members of the Erwinville Vol. Fire Dept. would like to express to you and
your staff our sincere appreciation for the service and professionalisr:n we received before,
during, and after the fabrication of our Rescue/Service truck.
We especially appreciate the guidance and patience Mat LaBauve, Dave Carlton. and Glyn
Harding showed us during this experience. Mat especially, he was always available and
responsive to any questions or needs during this process and we thank him for that.
Charlie and Darryl were very responsive to our needs in the final inspection and delivery
also, the pride they and there crew showed is to be commended.
This is this department's first new Rescue/Service truck to be purchased since the
department was started in 1975. So we needed guidance from professionals to help us
make the right decisions, and we are very pleased with the results. So when the next
opportunity comes for our department to purchase a new truck we look forward to working
with your company again.
Sincerely,

On a more personal note. As a fire chiefI often encounter many reactions to being a female. As you can
imagine J 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 came time to talk: business every
person in that plant treated me with professionalism and regard. J found this to be true at the Texas Fire
Officer Conference in 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 &
Fire 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. Jfyou don't....ten us." So
often we hear the hegative aspects of encounters instead of the positive. Thank you for letting me take a
few moments of your time to show you Ferrara Apparatus through the eyes of a customer.

Dear Mr. Ferrara,
We wanted to personally congratulate you and your teams for making the impossible happen, There has
never been, to our knowledge, any supplier that has produced products of this magnitude and complexity
in virtually a two-month window, while maintaining the finish product and manufacturing specifications
all at the same time.
~ our entire team, from the top down, worked with us diligently in a professional and honest maIU1er on
... daily basis. We have to give special thanks to Bert McCutcheon, Glyn Harding, and Eric Adams for
putting up with our constant calls and request, but everyone should receive credit for ajob well done.
Between the two of us in our respective roles, we have been involved with manufacturing, purchasing,
quality control, fire departments, and dealing with fire apparatus for more than twenty years. Having
said that, we would rate your manufacturing facility and capability among the very few that merits an
excellent rating.
We look forvvard to the same level of excellence with your service and support after the receipt of our
first apparatus here at the Houston Fire Department. Again, thank you.
Sincerely,

We wanted to write to you to thank you for your hospitality during our visit this
week. Although we were only in town for about 24 hours, you did a great job in
making us feel welcomed. The meals were delightful although we are still not sure of
those "crawl fish" but Jack seemed to love them. The hotel was good and the
transportation to and from the airport couldn't have been better (except for a sign at
the airport would have been nice, only kidding),
It has been great to work with you and the crew at Ferrara in getting our new truck
completed and sent to us. You quickly understood our immediate need for a truck
and put the necessary time to continue to communicate the progress of the truck
and worked with us to make changes as it progressed. You made us feel very
comfortable during the whole processed.
We were all very impressed with your operation and facility aNd look forward to

Dear Chris Ferrara,
This letter is in reference to our transaction with your company rogardinga tiew pumper
tanker we recently purchased. I felt as chief oftlle departrnentcompelledto write you
regarding OUf satisfaction with your company and out salespersons, Dave Carlton and
Randy McClendon. Both of them were invaluable to usthroughoUl the process. From
tile beginning, they were available to us any time we needed. Randy made several visits
to myselfin various loca.tions (i.e. home, work~ fire department). dropping offblueprints.
There were countless telephone calls at all times of the day, night. and weekends, If! left
a message, they returned my calls expediently. They made a complex situation simple.
Second., I would like to say something about our trip. Having never been to a fact()ry to
see the operation first hand. I didn"t have anything to compare it to. Now" after
discussions with other departments., I feel fortunate 10 have had my first experience with
Ferrara. The delivery team assigned to us were fantastic. Any problem we found or
change we wanted was taken care of It was advantageous to see other trucks in the
process, also. It gave us tbe ability to see if their options were the same as ours. how the
options would work" and if we needed to add something, delete something. or change it
altogether. I appreciated the lunch and dinner, and the place to sleep. It made for a easier
trip home.
FinaHy.just a note about your company. I am impressed, 1 feel in have to visitanothcr
company, they will have to do a lot to come close to wbat I saw at Ferrara. When in the
future we have the opportunity to purchase another truckl I will eome to the factory first
to see all the options beforehand. Please express my thanks and regards to all of your
people who assisted in OUt purchase. I am extremely grateful

Dear Mr. Ferrara,
I am writing this letter to commend three of your employees. Recently our office
purchased a light bar through your company. Lee Chambers was the sales
representative that catered to our needs and price range. His professional and
expedient handling of our account was more then helpful. Once the light bar
arrived some of our installation personnel had installation questions and again I
phoned Lee and he was very helpful. Bert McCutcheon called me shortly
thereafter, and coordinated to send a Ferrara employee to our Fleet Operations
Center the next morning. Shane Charles (electrical supervisor) came to our Fleet
Operations Center and without haste, installed the light bar within two hours.
Shane's knowledge and professional mannerism speaks greatly for your company. I
was amazed at the cooperation that Shane had when working with people he did not
know. All three of your employees worked very quickly and efficiently to make sure
the job was done. In this case I can honestly say that your company employees went
above and beyond the call of duty to make sure this was a flawless transactions and
because ofthat I cannot tell you how grateful I am for their hospitality.
Thanks again and if there is any thing that I can do for you or your company please
don't hesitate to call.

Dear Chris:
I want you to know how pleased Superintendent Jack Regier and I were with the recent
delivery of two Igniter custom prunpers for the City of Hartford, Connecticut, H-2439
and H-2440. The attention to detail and craftsmanship was superb and a reflection of the
increased emphasis being placed upon quality control of the Fenara product.
Your entire production staff, especially Glyn Harding, Ronnie Addison, Daryl Drago,
Aaron Blackwell and Shane Charles are to be complimented for the efforts they placed in
the Hartford units. As usual, their willingness to meet the customer's needs was
exceptional.
Hartford can be a very demanding yet loyal customer, and the efforts of your staff have
proven to reinforce the confidence they have in the Ferrara product. Please pass on my
gratitude to the entire Ferrara staff for a job well done.
Very truly yours,

Dear~
How surprised I was when I received the beautiful framed photograph of
Pittsburgh's four Ferrara ladder trucks, Overwhelmed would be a better word. 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 them! A good feeling I might add.
Ironic, or so it seems, is the photo background of "3 River Stadium," which like
myself is no longer there in Pittsburgh (new stadiums); however, it brings back many
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!
For all Pittsburgh firefighters and officers, as well as myself, a heartfelt thank-you
Joel, to you and everyone at Ferrara Fire Apparatus, for ajob well done.
With Best Regards,

Dear Mr. Chris Ferrara
We recently purchased a fue apparatus from your company using a Fire Act Grant, The
design, construction, sales and delivery were impecable. We sincerely appreciate the
opportunity to do business with such an efficient company. Mr. Brad Williamson went above
and beyond his job trying to satisfy the needs of our department with limited funds. We also
incurred unforseen problems when there was a delay with funding from FEMA. Your
companies willingness to work -with our department and to let us assume delivery of this
vehicle without full payment was deffinitely not only a benefit to our department and local
community but also to the surrounding area. We cannot express enough the gratitude we
have for your trust and willingness to cooperate in this endeavor. We have truly enjoyed our
first new appartus purchase and look forward to doing business with your company again in

Dear Mr. Ferrara,
All of us at Springfield Twp. Fire Department appreciate everything that you and your
staff have done for us. Such as the tour of your facility, we are really impressed with the
quality of craftsmanship from the chassis shop to fabrication to the detail shop. We also
appreciate the patients for the long process of specing the truck for our needs.
We really like the way all compartments turned out, they were exactly how we speced
them.
In the past we dealt with S&S, we thought it would be a hassle to travel to Louisiana
from Indiana. Soon we realized the further we traveled the more pleased with your
service we were. We appreciated the use of the break room in the detail area, it
made us feel at home. Special thanks to the warranty Department to Beth she
explained everything very thorough. Special thanks to Glen Harding for going through
the truck at final inspection and had things fixed that we didn't see. Special thanks to
Erin for the thorough pump training & everything that he did. Special thanks to Ronnie
in the chassis shop for installing the radio's and two extra fans, job very well done.
Special thanks also to Jeff Bean for coming to our station and helping in specing the
truck &making changes that we all agreed to. Special thanks to you Mr. Ferrara taking
time to build this beautiful truck. We are sending these pictures for you and your staff to
share.
We look forward to doing business with you in the future!

Mr. Ferrara:
It is our pleasure to write this letter thanking you and your staff for the wonderful
hospitality shown on our recent trip to your facility for a pre-construction meeting for our
apparatus. We were pleased to see employees that were happy with what they were
doing, happy with their employer, and working in a top notched facility. We feel that this
attitude reflects in the quality of the products they manufacture.
In addition to the friendly, courteous, and helpful nature ofthe employees in the plant,
there are several others that went above and beyond to ensure that our stay was an
informative and enjoyable one. These persons also helped us to understand how our
engine will be constructed based on their first hand experience and extensive knowledge.
The first to commend is Glen Harding. Mr. Harding, who spearheaded the pre-
construction meeting, went out of his way to assist us in making decisions and changes to
the engine that were in our best interest and that we would be pleased with do"\Vll the
road. He offered advice on technical aspects that were unfamiliar to us and never left a
question unanswered, no matter how insignificant. His expertise and professionalism in
fire truck manufacturing, along with a personable nature, were a great help in a process
we were unfamiliar with.
Another person worthy of commendation is Mike Kerr. Mr. Kerr, who also assisted with
the meeting, was also a great contributor of information and advice. He is very familiar
with the specifications we submitted, and this showed as the meeting progressed. He
taek-the time tfHearn why we requesred-som~tth.e-items-we-did-3l1d-made-several
Attachment A, Page 50 of 262
suggestions that were taken by us. He also took the time to get to know us which is
uncommon with most industries today. He has a great personality that deserves
reco gnition.
Last, but certainly not least, is Mike White. Mr. White went out of his way to make sure
our stay was as comfortable as possible. In addition to making our stay comfortable, Mr.
White also wanted us to be pleased with how our truck is to be constructed, which he
accomplished. He also offered advice and gave us a top notched tour of the plant. It is
evident he is very familiar with the construction of Ferrara's trucks. He also goes above
and beyond selling a truck. He has helped us in areas beyond fire trucks. He deserves
recommendation for this as well.
So far we are very pleased with our decision to purchase our engine from Ferrara. We
have arranged to fund two additional trips to the facility to check the progress of our
truck. We are excited about this truck, and look forward to the possibility of future
purchases from you and your staff.
Again, thank you and your staff for everything.
Respectfully.

Our members were invited to the dinner and tour of the Aquarium during the Exposition.
The evening was a very special to our group. We appreciate your generous hospitality.
Our department has purchased two Ferrara pumpers over the past three years. The
pumpers have served our community without any problems. Our dealer, Bob Smith, has
gone out of his way to serve our needs. Bob should be commended for the many trips to
Watkinsville, Georgia in representing Ferrara. In the twenty-five years offire service,
I've never experienced the amount of service and sincere work that Bob Smith provides

We plan to purchase a new mini-pumper this year. I look forward to working with Ferrara
on this purchase. Again, thank you for your hard work in satisfying the customer needs.

I would like to take this opportunity to express my feelings about the rescue truck that

for the pre build and our weekly visits to the plant, I can say that I am very impressed at Ferrara's
professionalism, the way you build trucks a.rld how your people are willing to do what it takes to
finish a truck.
Upon the many visits to your plant during the construction of our truck, the people like
Glynn Harding, Darryl and the other people working on the truck were very helpfuL Their
willingness to answer questions and help solve problems were very helpful to me.
In closing I would like to thank you Chris and everyone in the plant for the fine

truck.

Dear Chris,
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 800 number provided for emergency
warranty service. This call led me to the voice mail of Mike SupaI Ferrara's service/warranty
advisor. 1 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 call, because within 15 minutes of leaving my message Mr. Supai
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 S1. Louis station to inspect
Engine 1 and confirm that the problem was in the AMP-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 Supai called to let me know that another A.M.P.S. unit was on its way
while Mizeil 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 262
We never had the chance to be concerned that we would not be able to have Engine 1 returned to
service quickly in order to insure the public's safety in Bay St. Louis. Your employees were prompt,
professional, and knowledgeable.
r 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 shake 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.

could kick off the new year with Hudson's truck.
Your vehicle has been the hit of our county which comprises 26 separate departments. It
has been shown at county meetings as well as working demonstrations for several of our
neighbors. I can't begin to tell you how impressed our firefighters were at first look and
even happier after we used it on its first calls. I will continue to make it available as often
as possible so that we may share the quality and design for our neighbors.
My personal thanks again to your people for spending the time in Holden, they were
kind and responsive and worked with us through all the design modifications. It certainly
is a quallty piece of fire apparatus, one which will serve our city for many years to come.
You can be certain that I will do all I can to assure that FelTara is consulted before we

Dear Ronnie,
I readily confess that 1 am a fire department groupie. I'm so proud of our department ft's firefighters and
their accomplishments. Safe, dependable and efficient equipment is essential to their success on the job
and for their safely, 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 your
equipment Your work areas were free of any debris; the work carts were organized and trash 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 why Chief Gavagnie is proud to be making our
purchase through your company. With his military background he is a stickler for. organization and holds his
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 cutting 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. Bay St. Louis will certainly be proud of our new pumper and I know every
child who gets his tour during Fire Prevention Week will be just as impressed as I was yesterday.
We look forward to your next visit to Bay Sl. Louis.

Dear Chris:
I want to express my complete satisfaction on the construction of our new HJvlE Custom Extended
Cab, Top Mount Pump Panel, 1250 GPM Waterous Pump, 1000 Gallon Tank Pumper. The truck looks
and performs great. I am a person who is a pessimist and am very hard to please, so this is a rarity.
Shane Dulany sold this truck to us by bringing the demonstrator and letting us drive and use it.
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
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. The delivery time is almost
unbelievable and must rank the quickest in the industry.
Thanks again, and we look forward to working with you on our next truck purchase.
Sincerely,

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 I
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. I followed the directions on
your answering machine not really expecting to hear from your company until Monday
morning. To my surprise, and pleasure, Mike Supai 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 :00 a.m. Russell Babin 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. Please keep up the high level of quality and service that I
have now come to expect from Ferrara Fire Apparatus, Inc., and Ferrara Firefighting
Equipment, Inc..
Yours in the Fire Service,

Dear Chris,
I just wanted to drop you a note and let you know how pleased we are with our
Ferrarra fire truck. The truck we purchased from Ferrara just turned one year old, and I
could not be more pleased with the quality of the truck. It has met our expectations in
every aspect; perfonnance, 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.
Once again, thank you for manufacturing a product that we, and the City of
Crane, can be proud of for years to come,'andfor.havingthe.quality.of.employees that
know how to take care of a customer after the sale.
Sincerely,

Dear Chris,
I would like to take the opportunity to thank you and your staff for
the hospitality and friendliness that we were shown when we visited
your plant for the pre-delivery inspection of our new truck on July 30
and 31, 1998. I would like to commend you on such a great
operation that truly rolls out quality and craftsmanship. In a world of
mass production and take what we have attitudes, it is nice to lmow
that there is a company that will build what you want and will take
time to make sure the customer is satisfied. Please thank Eric Adal11s
for taking time out of his schedule to show us around and to Mitch
Willoughby for taking care of a few minor problems on our truck. I
would like to ask that you take the time to thank your shop persOlmel
that had anything to do with our truck from start to finish, especially
those who worked out the last minor problems and for getting our
truck out when it was promised. Also Mike Young, your representative
here in West Virginia, went above and beyond to make sure we were
taken care of from start to finish and made sure we were completely
satisfied. Again THANK YOU!

Chris:
Recently, our department had a large scale, time consuming fire, in our Western
community. We had some bi-products of the sugar industries burning. The pile
consisted of and area 120 feet.high.and encompassed approximately ten acres of .
land. With the assistance of the State Forestry Service, employees of Osceola Farms,
and surrounding communities we were able to handle this situation in two and one-
haff days.
The reason I am bringing this to your attention is because of the fine piece of
~quipment you manufacture that. was really put to the test. One particular pumper that
we had recently purchased from you, pumped continually for a period of more than
twenty four hours at 150 PSI. At the conclusion of this incident we brought it to the
shop and went completely over it to see if there were any problems. To our surprise
and delight there were none.
You and your organ{zation can be praud~of what you-produc'e..a."d how well it holds up
during actual situations.
In conclusion, aliI can say is "A job well done by all."

Dear Chris,
This letter may be ~ little late in arriving; but I wanted to let you know how
satisfied I am with our new pumper. I had a good idea what I wanted and needed for our
department and with Harold Fontenot's help I got what I. wailte<i" As.you know evetyone
wanted to write the specs, but they were ~ their. time because .I didn't.want anyone
but Mr. Harold and his no pressure approach. Mr. Harold and I made a few trips to
Ope1ousas and Baton Rouge to check out new pumpers. from there we added and deleted
until we came up with the pumper that we proudly own today. I was impressed with the
energy and knowledge your staff put forth when I toured your plant. Your employees
were very helpful every.step of the way. During COnstruction whenever there was a
question they would beep me to find 'ou:t what my feelings were, and a few times they
beeped me with suggestions to improve the truck. I liked that, you people are the experts
and I am always open to sUggestions. Another thing, I was always welcome. at the plant
during COIlStruction, r think I visited once a week. '1 nae wouldn't have been possible if our
truck. had been built in another state.
c~ I want to congratulate you and your famUy on the successful Grand Opening
of your new plant last Saturday. WOWll When you do something, you really do it right,
even down to the weather. I really enjoyed my day. It gave me the opportunity to meet
with equip~ent vendors and share ideas,with different fire departments..It still astounds
me at the diff'erent types and sizes offirC.apparatus:.thatyou;are:capable'of.building. It
was kind of?n ego trip to hear aD. the good comments" on ournew:truck.-' I' had people'
tracking me down a few times asking questions about the truck. I even let some
firefighters from Texas take a test drive.
I want to wish you and your family the best of luck.

· Metal surfaces will be sanded to remove all burrs and imperfections,
before etching and treatment.
· A wax & grease solvent witt be used to clean and prep the aluminum
surface. The surface will then be rinsed with fresh water. This step removes
wax, grease and other surface contaminants, thus leaving a bright, clean,
and conditioned surface.
· A self-etching, metal primer witt be applied next. The self-etching primer
will fill all of the minor imperfections, scratches, etc. in the metal. This step
produces a corrosion resisting conversion coating that prevents off
oxidation and other surface contaminants leaving a surface that gives
excellent paint adhesion.
· A sandable primer witt be sprayed on the metal that seals the surface for
the polyurethane paint. A minimum coating thickness of 2 Mil will be
applied. Primer is then sanded smooth leaving the best surface for topcoat.
· The apparatus body will then be painted with a minimum of three-(3)
coats of color.
These steps are followed as recommended by the paint manufacturer to provide a
tasting and high quality gloss finish. Dupont will provide all paint products.
