EMERGENCY ONE

PATERSON, NJ FD

In 1985 two smaller fire apparatus servicing companies in Hamburg, NY merged to form the RD Murray Fire Apparatus Company and over the next two decades produced over a thousand apparatus. At one time they built their apparatus on a "Spartan" chassis. They were eventually acquired by American LaFrance. In 2010 they became a part of E-ONE Inc. family which re-launched the RD-Murray high-quality stainless steel products.

Paterson's Emergency One Apparatus

Within a decade of its start in Ocala, Florida in 1974 Emergency One (E-ONE) rocketed to the front of the US Fire Apparatus industry. The company's success was achieved by using pre-built interchangeable modules installed on any commercial truck chassis. In stead of 6 months a complete fire truck was assembled in 30-60 days. Emergency One introduced its own custom cab-forward chassis, the Hurricane. In 2010 E-ONE acquired American LaFrance including the RD Murray division in Hamburg NY. The now larger E-ONE re-launched RD-Murray high-quality stainless steel products. E-ONE was acquired by a private equity firm, American Industrial partners who subsequently merged with others forming Allied Specialty Vehicles a market leading manufacturer in Fire and Emergency, Recreational Vehicles and Buses.
