"I just wanted to take a moment of your time to express our sincere thanks for all of your assistance in the building of our new Aerial and Pumper.

The Village of Glenwood is a growing community with limited resources to provide emergency services to our residents. The inhreent value built into your apparatus allows us to prepare for the challenges that lie ahead by purchasing two rigs at once.

I would be remiss if I did not compliment Denise Bussing for all of her assistance and attention to detail. Your entire staff is to be commended for producing extraordinary apparatus with no hassles for the customer.

Our local dealer, Specialty Vehicle Service, Inc., has been phenomenal as well. Mike, Ted, and Mike are to be applauded for their continual support of our purchase as well.

I could not have asked for a smoother process. I will certainly continue to patronize HME in the future.

I would be happy to provide our vehicles for demonstration purposes at any time. We are very proud of our new rigs and you should be too."
