We are a fun family of four that like to do unique and exciting activities. We love getting lost on a Sunday drive adventure and thinking up and building new yard games. We had been thinking for a while that nothing would match our mantra more than owning our very own fire engine. A big pick up truck with a big squirt gun and room for tons of stuff and people. Add that to all the interesting sounds, and big steering wheel. What is not to like!
We were lucky to have the opportunity to buy a fire engine from the Fire Department in the town we live in Richfield, WI for an affordable price. We drive it around to dinner, the hardware store and even pick up the kids from school. We often get stopped by locals that recognize the truck and love to talk to us about it. One of our favorite things to do is give a honk of the air horn to kids that wave as we pass by.
As fun as it is to own a personal fire engine we find it more enjoyable to share it with others, which is why we started our business, Gallant. We do some charity work at schools and for Salvation Army. It's neat to see the joy kids get to ride in the truck for the first time, or see an adult turn into a kid when they get to shoot the water cannon. We hope you can share the excitement of our fire engine as well some day.
