E-ONE Firetruck factory tour
E-ONE Firetrucks is a worldwide designer & manufacturer of Firetrucks, located in Ocala, Florida. We phoned them up to see if there was a chance of getting a tour as part of our homeschool activities and they generously said YES – Hunter was on cloud nine and bouncing off the walls in anticipation!
It was really interesting to see how a firetruck goes from design right through to completed testing and sign-off. There are an amazing number of small details throughout the process, even just picking the colours and lettering!
E-ONE is vertically integrated and makes everything on and in the firetruck except for the engine. They also do all of their own repair work. It was a wonderful experience and we really appreciate their generosity.
Can you go for tours any day or do you have to set up ahead of time? 7 year old grandson would be so excited when he visits thank you
Hi – we contacted E1 directly and asked for a tour. They were incredibly supportive and happily arranged it for us.
