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
2001 – HP 95 Mid-Mount introduced
2007 – HP 100 Platform released
2011 – eMAX pumper introduced
2017- Metro 100 Quint introduced
2020 – DND Air Transportable ARFF produced
2022 – All-Electric Vector released
The company started with only 25 employees, and today it employs more than 1,000 people at its facilities in Ocala and Hamburg, NY.
To help celebrate this milestone, E-ONE is asking its longtime customers, employees, and fans to share their piece of E-ONE history at e-one.com/50years and on its social media channels:
