10-8 emergency vehicle service

What 10-8 emergency vehicle service does

10-8 Emergency Vehicle Service is a privately held, family-owned dealer, service provider, and upfitter of emergency vehicles headquartered in New Holland, Pennsylvania, founded in June 2006. The company is an authorized dealer for Seagrave Fire Apparatus and Life Line Emergency Vehicles, selling new fire trucks (pumpers, aerials, custom chassis) and ambulances (Type I, II, III remounts) to municipal fire departments, EMS providers, and law enforcement agencies across Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, and the District of Columbia.

The company's revenue is generated through three primary streams: (1) one-time new vehicle sales as an OEM dealer, (2) recurring service and preventative maintenance contracts covering pump repairs, aerial device service, NFPA compliance testing, ambulance electrical and chassis maintenance, and collision/refurbishment work, and (3) upfitting services that install emergency lighting, equipment consoles, K-9 containment, prisoner partitions, and custom cabinetry on police, fire, EMS, and specialty vehicles. Service delivery is performed at three Pennsylvania facilities (New Holland HQ, Wilkes-Barre, Huntingdon) and via mobile service trucks that travel to customer fire stations.

Distribution is direct-to-government through field sales and phone/email intake, supplemented by Turnkey Solution partnerships with multiple dealerships that bundle vehicle purchasing, upfitting, and municipal leasing. The company differentiates through specialized certifications (EVT, Ford Factory Trained, Master Distributor for Sound Off Signal, Master Alliance Partner for Code 3), proprietary standardized wiring systems, comprehensive NFPA testing documentation that supports ISO insurance ratings, and staff who are themselves volunteer firefighters — collectively positioning 10-8 as a one-stop shop for emergency vehicle lifecycle needs in the Mid-Atlantic.
