The concept of The Apparatus Architect started as an article that was never published in the articles original form. The article revolved around the concept that a fire department would not think of building a $500,000.00 fire station, addition without the services of a qualified architect. Yet that same fire department would think nothing of spending $800,000.00 on a Tower Ladder without anyone's help or expertise and be at the mercy of the apparatus salesmen. The premise of that article has allowed Tom and I to share our knowledge and expertise to create a variety of functional and cost effective fire apparatus for a variety of fire departments. Consulting services offered by firefighters for firefighters. With our collective back rounds it gives Tom and I the expertise to consult on a variety of Fire Service issues which include but are not limited to:

Fire Protection Master Planning

Fire Station Site Location Analysis

Apparatus Maintenance and Testing Procedures

Apparatus Deployment and Staffing

Fire Apparatus Fleet Replacement Analysis

Staffing And Training Needs Assessment
