_____________________________________________________ Larry and Rebecca Reber started Reberland Equipment in 1974 selling and servicing farm equipment along with light commercial products. In 1984, upon seeing one of the commercial vacuum trucks built by Reberland Equipment, a local Fire Department approached Larry about the concept of using vacuum in regards to fire trucks. The seed had been planted and after careful research and design, the 1st "Firovac®" was built on a New Pittsburgh, OH Fire Department existing chassis. This led to the first vacuum units specifically for fire service, true vacuum fire apparatus. It soon became evident that vacuum was the answer to quicker and easier loading and unloading of water without the needless expenditure of pumpers or additional manpower. Larry realized that he had developed the vacuum concept based strictly on an engineering basis. In 1985, wanting to learn first hand how fire equipment is needed and used, he joined the local rural fire department. Over time Larry became Assistant Fire Chief of the Apple Creek Volunteer Fire Department, and although he no longer holds an office within the department, he is still a volunteer and encourages and supports our company employees who are volunteers with the department. Firovac trucks are truly made by firefighters for firefighters. Rebecca Reber, a nurse by profession, has worked closely with Larry as Corporate Secretary to manage day to day operations, implement policy, promote product and assist associates and customers. Firovac® Power Systems has continued to expand operations to keep up with the increased demand for "Firovac®" fire trucks. Larry, Rebecca and the employees have produced more than 100 fire trucks with a few trucks always in different stages of production. Each truck is custom built for the needs of the individual departments. As time has passed more innovative products have emerged, such as power portable tank brackets w/ 2 portable tanks, a patented floating strainer and a wide variety of compartment choices including Poly Body's. Completing the management team of Reberland Equipment Inc. is Larry & Valorie Lewis who, along with the employees are an esteemed part of the business. Firovac® has several associates throughout the USA.
