🔧 Behind the Build: Our Fab Department

A lot of work goes into the products we build — and our fabrication team is right in the middle of it.

From measuring and cutting to welding, fitting, and finishing, our fab crew takes pride in the details that bring each project together. The work isn’t always the part you see first, but it plays a big role in creating a quality finished product.

Our fabrication department works on a wide variety of projects, and every one of them gets the same attention to detail and commitment to quality.

💪 Skilled People. Quality Craftsmanship. Hard Work.

We’re proud of the crew that shows up every day, puts in the work, and gets the job done right.

And this is just one part of the THL team. There are a lot of people behind the scenes working together to keep things moving and make it all happen.

Stay tuned as we highlight some of the other departments and the people who keep THL moving forward! 👊

Last Friday, we had an amazing time at our company picnic during The Flying Mummies baseball game! ⚾️

The evening was filled with great food, fun, and even better company. We were thrilled to share the event not only with our employees, but also with our valued vendors, local fire departments, and close friends who help support our business and community throughout the year.

Events like these remind us how fortunate we are to be surrounded by such dedicated partners, first responders, and friends. Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make the night such a success.

We appreciate all of you and look forward to doing it again next year!

🚒 Why pay middleman prices for your next fire apparatus?

The truck you see here is a recent delivery, designed, fabricated, and assembled right here in our shop. At THL Fire Equipment, we don't purchase truck bodies from another manufacturer and put our name on them—we build them ourselves.

Working directly with the builder means better communication, greater customization, and more value for your department's investment. From the initial design meeting to final delivery, you're working with the same team that's building your truck every step of the way.

If your department is planning its next apparatus purchase, consider the benefits of buying direct. Skip the middleman and partner with the people who design, build, and stand behind your apparatus.

Built by THL. Built for the Fire Service.

Shoutout to Englewood Truck Towing and Recovery in Richmond, IN for doing the heavy lifting today!

This is our latest rehab project. We stripped the truck down to the bare chassis today. Now it’s off to have the frame sandblasted and painted, including a fresh paint job on the cab. While it’s away, we’ll start building a brand-new body for the department’s existing tank.

The rebuild also includes:
✅ All new upfitter wiring throughout the truck
✅ Updated lighting package
✅ Refreshed and modernized components
✅ Brand new pump house assembly

Projects like this are a great way to extend the life of dependable equipment while giving departments the upgrades and reliability they need without starting from scratch. We’re excited to bring this tanker back better than ever!
