Truck Spotlight: Responder Trucks


Is your fire department looking for a new truck, but you want it to pull double duty? While you’re not necessarily looking to replace your fire tanker truck, you might be looking for something else. Maybe a truck to haul equipment and personnel that is easier to maneuver than big trucks. The Responder truck is the perfect option for your department. We’ll discuss options that the Responder truck can be customized with and why it could be a great fit.

When you need to transport equipment and personnel but don’t need the fire tanker truck, you want a small, easy-to-maneuver option with room for everything you need. This is where Osco Tank & Truck Sales steps in. Our custom-built Responder trucks are designed to give your department the best of both worlds—an extremely versatile responder large enough to carry equipment and personnel yet small enough to maneuver efficiently.

Custom Design and Build

We will custom-design your unit whether you need an EMS/ALS vehicle or a chief response unit. This will ensure that every bag, device, and piece of equipment used for your job has a custom storage solution. This ensures that everything you need is easily accessible and fits your department’s needs. With varying body sizes, we can prioritize your specific needs. We will work with you to make a plan for what needs to go on your Responder truck and how we can make it happen.

Additionally, all of our custom-built trucks with Osco Certified chassis will receive new paint on the cab and chassis, new tires, new brakes, new powertrain fluids and filters, new bumper
120-point inspection, road testing, and DOT inspection at an independent truck service center. We are also delighted to work with you to add custom features and designs that will work best for your needs and department.

Responder Trucks are a Must-Have for Your Fire Department

These units are also built with versatility, maximizing every inch of space available and allowing you to carry the rescue equipment required to do your job. This specific line of Responder vehicles features an aluminum body. It is a must-have for every department and can be built upon your choice of chassis from any manufacturer. We can also work with you to create a custom Responder truck off a used Osco Certified chassis. This could potentially bring down costs for the department. We want to work with you to ensure you are getting what you need to do the important work you do daily for our communities.
