“It was a wonderful day for us to recognize long-time dealers and customers and our employees’ commitment to building the best apparatus for firefighters for the past five decades,” said Mike Virnig, president, REV Specialty Vehicles Segment. “And it was an honor to be recognized by the City of Ocala and Marion County as a major employer, manufacturer and for the positive impact we have on the community. We thank everyone for their support, and we look forward to the exciting and ground-breaking next 50 years of E-ONE.”
The celebration will continue throughout 2024 including an E-ONE Employees and Families Celebration Picnic honoring almost 60 employees with 35 year of service or more, continued launch of Limited Edition 50th Anniversary merchandise at the Fire Locker company store, and a Special Customer Appreciation Celebration at FDIC 2024 in Indianapolis, IN.
In 1974 Bob Wormser founded Emergency One, Inc., now known as E-ONE and introduced the first modular extruded aluminum fire truck body, which could be built separate from the chassis and loaded later. This launched the company’s reputation in the fire industry for pioneering innovation, still evidenced 50 years later in the fire apparatus it produces for fire departments around the world.
E-ONE opened an 82,000 square foot production facility in Ocala in 1978 and in 1981 produced its first aerial, a 110’ welded extruded aluminum aerial with integral torque box chassis.
Other major milestones from E-ONE’s first 50 years include the following:
1983 – 95′ platform and 135′ ladder introduced – both part of the modular line of aerials
1990 – Opened 65,000 square foot Welcome Center/production facility
1994 – Introduced the HP 75 ladder with 500# tip load

2011 – eMAX pumper introduced
2017- Metro 100 Quint introduced
2020 – DND Air Transportable ARFF produced

The company started with only 25 employees, and today it employs more than 1,000 people at its facilities in Ocala and Hamburg, NY.
