Reliant Fire was started by our founder Scott Krueger. Prior to Reliant Fire Apparatus, Scott was an employee at Pierce Manufacturing in Appleton, WI where he held positions directly dealing with the Pierce products and marketing and sale of the products.
Reliant Fire Apparatus was incorporated in 1994 as the exclusive organization representing Pierce Manufacturing in the southern portion of the state of Wisconsin and operates out of our main facility located in Slinger, WI.
In 2011 Reliant expanded its Pierce territory becoming the exclusive organization representing Pierce Manufacturing in the state of Iowa and operates out of our main facility located in Des Moines, IA.
The name Reliant was selected as the basis for all that the company stands for and does. Our main goal is to be the most reliable dealer that each customer has ever worked with. This includes reliable responses to all inquiries, reliable, factual information, reliable, accurate pricing and proposals, a reliable and professional experience with each sale, production, delivery and training, and reliable service and parts after delivery. We pride ourselves on making your fire purchase from Reliant the easiest and most enjoyable purchase you will experience.
Reliant’s business strategy is to expand market share through the retention of existing customers and the acquisition of new customers from our competition. This is being accomplished through professional sales relationships and superior customer service.
