Firematic Supply Company Inc.

==About==
Firematic Supply Company Inc. is an American fire apparatus manufacturer and dealer headquartered in East Yaphank, New York. Firematic is Pierce Manufacturing's dealer for New York and Connecticut. The company also refurbishes apparatus and builds their own line of brush trucks (the B.R.A.T. series).
== History==
Firematic was founded in 1961 by Hermann Schmidt, as a company to sell fire extinguishers, breathing air packs, and other fire equipment. In 1971, they entered the fire truck business, becoming the Long Island dealer for Imperial Fire Apparatus. In 1973, they became a dealer for Sutphen aerials. In 1980, they became the Long Island dealer for the then-fledgling Pierce Manufacturing (before eventually becoming the top-selling Pierce dealer in the entire country in the late 1990s). In 1992, they moved into their current main facility in East Yaphank, and in 1996 they expanded their sales territory to cover Connecticut as well, opening their facility in Rocky Hill. In 2001, they introduced their B.R.A.T. line of brush trucks, showcasing them at FDIC the following year. Also in 2001, Firematic opened a sales and service center in Massachusetts, subsequently moving twice in the following years to larger facilities (in 2010 and 2015, respectively). In 2008 & 2015, Firematic expanded to cover more of New York state, eventually serving a large swath from the Albany area, down to the lower Hudson River valley, and out to Long Island. With the expanded territory, came new service centers as well; first, one serving the lower Hudson Valley area in Carmel in 2011 (later relocated to Patterson in 2018), and one for the upper Hudson/Albany area in Altamont in 2016. https://firematic.com/history.htm In September 2023, Firematic announced that they had acquired Churchville Fire Equipment, the Pierce dealer for Western NY; now making Firematic the sole Pierce dealer for the entire state of New York. https://firematic.com/cfe-press-release.htm 
==Production==
Firematic also builds its own series of brush trucks, mini/wildland pumpers, and rescue trucks under the B.R.A.T. name - Brush Rapid Attack Trucks. Most BRATs have gone to departments in the northeast US, but they have also gained a small foothold (in the brush/wildland market) across the country in California.
