If you want to purchase Amerex brand fire extinguishers (FE), here are several online suppliers:
1. Security Fire Equipment Company at amerexfireextinguishers.com They offer steep discounts for quantity discounts, free shipping and no hazmat fees either.
2. Fireextinguisherdepot.com. They offer...
Contact the manufacturer Amertek. They may be able to provide technical assistance and parts.
If you know of any other FD's that have a similar rig, see who services their rig. You maybe able to talk to a fire apparatus servicing firm and they maybe able to source parts.
From what I have been...
I had a Kidde FE and they are sending a replacement. Most of my other extinguishers (dry chemical, CO2, water. etc.) are Amerex brand. Good quality and top of the line.
Quality of fire extinguishers by best to poorest:
1. Ansul

Do you know what fire dept. (that the Forest Service loaned it to) had it last?
The last Fire Dept. in North Dakota, that I know of, that got rid of a Forest Service pumper truck like this was Sanborn, ND Fire Dept..
To help remedy the financial situation long term, I would suggest the following:
Bring your state legislators to some of your wildland fire calls. Get them bunker gear and such and ride the rigs into battle as observers. Give them the first hand experience on what you do and what you...
Check with your State Surplus Agency. They may be the LESO program administrator. If not, they may know who is.
Our fire dept. recently obtained a M1008 CUCV from a similar program. We plan on using it for a wildland firefighting vehicle.
