BRANDON, SD – April 19, 2023 –  Spartan Emergency Response, a subsidiary of REV Group, Inc., and leading manufacturer of fire apparatus, will offer the latest innovative products and technologies – including Vector™, the first North American-style fully electric fire truck – at FDIC International (Fire Department Instructors Conference) in Indianapolis, Indiana from April 27-29, 2023.

REV Fire Group’s Vector is returning to FDIC, allowing attendees to see the first North American-style fully electric fire truck.

Featuring the patented Smeal™ ladder and outrigger control system, it offers a 360-degree, no-dead-zone functionality that can be adapted to the scene while maintaining full reach, and access to real-time data. The Multi-Stance technology allows operators to set the outriggers to any reach that the fire scene will accommodate. The Smart Reach control console also offers electric and hydraulic aerial controls, giving users the ultimate in smooth operation.

Other Spartan Emergency Response apparatus on display will include:

  • Top Mount Pumper from Rising Sun Fire Department, Indiana: Built on a Spartan Metro Star® Chassis, this pumper features a 1500 GPM pump, 1000-gallon tank, black Speedliner pump panel, and internal right side ladder storage.
