WE ARE WILDLAND

BME Fire Trucks is more than a fire truck manufacturer. We opened our doors over 30 years ago because of our respect and admiration for the fire industry. Each and every apparatus that leaves our facility is built with its end-use in mind. Our team prides itself in building something that protects and serves departments across the US and Canada. BME has manufactured apparatus for CAL FIRE, BLM, USFS, and municipal fire departments across the US and is the branded leader in wildland fire apparatus.

Being a family-owned company, we make sure that people are at the foundation of our business. From dealer to department, every person that walks through our doors will always be treated like family. We will always work with you and your department to ensure you have what you need for the frontlines.

Every apparatus that leaves our facility is inspected for safety, durability, and performance. Our mission is to continue innovating fire apparatus so that it will perform no matter the severity of the fire season. That’s the BME difference.
