Brindlee Mountain works with and serves local fire departments by providing mobile pump testing. During one of these routine service calls, the technician learned the department had been searching for a used rescue truck for several years.
That was all it took to start a conversation with the Vestavia Hills (AL) Fire Department to help it find that needed rescue. The service technician quickly made a connection to the sales team and the journey to the right rescue truck was underway.

I enjoyed having the opportunity to meet with their apparatus committee at their facility, travel to inspect the truck, as well as to facilitate the completion of this project and delivery of this apparatus to their department in April.” Sam McMunn
This is the first Vestavia Hills has purchased from Brindlee Mountain and we will work hard to make sure it is not the last.
