Life saving equipment is made here. Without them fire and rescue wouldn’t be able to do their job.
Todd P.
The custom tanker has been a great addition for the Johnsonville (NY) Fire Department. I hope to be able to work with Erin Maxon (HME Dealer) and the rest of the guys from HME again. It was a pleasure.

The HME Promise
Quality, Durability, & Reliability
Whether it’s safety to/from the fireground, equipment access for initial attack or flowing water, durability and reliability are not negotiable.
Quick Delivery
Wash, rinse and repeat. We spec., engineer, build and support the trucks we are good at which enables us to deliver the truck you need faster.
Customer Support
Warranty submissions, replacement parts, troubleshooting and technical support – we are there to keep you response ready.
Safety
Everything from collision avoidance systems, airbags, and clean cab options to suspension options or upgraded cab ergonomics, the HME Sentry System protects those that protect us.
Engines
HME offers the full spectrum on Cummins engines. Pushing the boundaries of how power is made, Cummins delivers the right technology for fire service applications at the right time. With horsepower ratings of 330 to 605 and torque ratings of 1000 to 1850, we have the Cummins power options to get you to and from the fire ground and perform while there.
High Air Intake
Sitting 56” (on average†) above ground, HME’s air in-take is not only easy to access and service but is located high enough to successfully ford water when others won’t. † Heights vary by chassis and component specifications.
Front Suspension
Multiple steer axles solutions are available. Pictured here, the Independent Front Suspension from Reyco Granning is a complete assembly that offers less unsprung mass, dynmic camber and easy access to service points. The STEERTEK NXT from Hendrickson is a more economical option as a fabricated axle offering torsional stiffness to accommodate higher brake torque requirements and a softer spring rate enabling greater travel and comfort.
Rear Suspension
Multiple rear axle solutions are available. The Hendrickson FIREMAXX EX has a cast structural beam and large volume air springs with a dual height control valve configuration to maintain consistent ride height even with unevenly loaded apparatus. Available in single and tandem axle configurations, and quick alignment features, the FIREMAXX is uniquely configured for the fire service.
Serviceability
Fire apparatus work nearly as hard as firefighters. Whether it is preventative maintenance or repairs, managing your HME fleet is made easier with color coded, organized and smartly placed air lines and harnesses.
The foundational Reality
HME Fire Trucks: Built From A Stable Foundation
Pump, body, lighting, and other configuration choices are important for sure, but you’ve got to set the right foundation first. With over four decades of cab/chassis building under our belts, HME has what you need.
The HME team builds a chassis built to last — a core foundation providing the stability to match a firefighter’s resolve. HME fire trucks are built for the fight — built to last.
