Nathan, along with the team at AFC worked with our truck committee to deliver a refurbished engine that not only met our unique requirements but exceeded expectations. AFC was receptive, attentive, and provided exceptional detail throughout the entire process, from crafting the overall upgrades to coordinating the final delivery. Even after the trucks arrival Nathan has remained accessible and available to answer any questions and ensure a smooth transition into service. We are fortunate to now have such a reliable frontline apparatus to provide fire protection and serve our community for years to come, and this is thanks to the hard work and service from the team at AFC. - Dustin, Essex Fire Department”

We were unable to travel to Iowa to see the fire truck in person. They did an excellent job doing a virtual inspection and taking the time to show everything we asked to see. The entire purchase was smooth. It was very nerve wracking to spend that much money with someone you didn’t meet in person and to buy a truck without seeing it, but they made it easy. The truck showed up just like it was described. If anyone is hesitant about doing it, I encourage you to not be worried about Nathan or his company they were great to deal with!”
“We purchased 3 sets of the Torpedo system with different attachment lengths for each truck: 201 is our main Rescue/Accident response apparatus, 202 is our main Structural apparatus, then 208 is our first out Brush/Rescue vehicle. I've seen the…We purchased 3 sets of the Torpedo system with different attachment lengths for each truck: 201 is our main Rescue/Accident response apparatus, 202 is our main Structural apparatus, then 208 is our first out Brush/Rescue vehicle. I've seen the Torpedo sets used for many different applications- even seen the crew get creative a time or two (with success I might add) lol. We have used the Torpedo for vehicle fires, coal chutes, and most recently a baler/field fire when the operator forgot to eject the alfalfa bale out of the baler; we put the Torpedo inside the bale chamber to extinguish the blaze. The structure and design of the Torpedo system has proven it can handle every situation we have thrown/stuck it into thus far. Members of the dept. have commented numerous times of its great advantages to our tool bag. Thanks again. Mike DeWild Chief - Blakesburg Fire & Rescue”

From start to finish, Nathan made the entire process extremely easy and stress-free. His communication was outstanding throughout the entire transaction. He kept us informed every step of the way, answered all of our questions, and made sure everything went smoothly. The purchase was absolutely flawless, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We truly appreciate Nathan’s professionalism, honesty, and commitment to making sure everything was taken care of. We would highly recommend Nathan and American Fire Company to any department looking to purchase a fire apparatus. We couldn’t be happier with our mini pumper and the experience we had! Jordan Unionville Fire Chief”
“Truck was exactly as advertised and Nathan was incredibly easy to work with. He was more than willing to make our timeline work and went the extra mile to ensure a smooth transaction. Will likely be doing business with him again in the future!!!”
“Our buying experience went very smoothly. Truck was just as nice as he told us it was! Very happy with the purchase.”
