January 29, 2008 (Marydel, DE) - We are pleased to
announce that effective January 19, 2008, DPC
Emergency Equipment is the authorized sales and
service agent for Rosenbauer America in both
Maryland and Delaware. Our new affiliation
with Rosenbauer
in turn
also allows DPC to be an authorized warranty
center for Spartan Motors.
In addition to Rosenbauer, we will continue to
represent Lifeline Emergency Vehicles throughout
Maryland.
In early January the decision was made by the
management at DPC Emergency Equipment to
discontinue representation of American LaFrance
emergency vehicles. While we will no longer
be promoting the sales of American LaFrance
products, it is important to note that DPC will
remain a
service and parts dealer for American
LaFrance, along with Freightliner.
The existing service
agreement with ALF and Freightliner, along with
our new venture with Rosenbauer and Spartan Motors
will further enhance DPC's ability to be a Sole
Responsibility Service Center. What does
this mean for you? It allows DPC to service
not only the truck chassis and body components,
but also the transmission and engine as well.
Most,
if not all of you have probably heard by now that
on Monday, January 28, American LaFrance, LLC
filed a voluntary petition for relief under
Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the
United States Bankruptcy Court. As a result of
this, American LaFrance has released a 4-page
"question and answer", or "FAQ" document to
address the many questions being raised by not
only previous and existing customers, but the fire
service industry as a whole. Click

We are also pleased
to share with you that AMKUS Rescue Systems has
appointed DPC Emergency Equipment as their
Authorized Distributor in Delaware and Eastern
Maryland for the sales and service of AMKUS
rescue products. Click
