About Brindlee Mountain

Brindlee Mountain Fire Apparatus (BMFA), the nation's largest used fire truck dealer, operates under founder James Wessel's vision: respect for the fire industry and a desire to serve God. This conviction shapes BMFA's culture and core values: Excellence, Gratitude, Integrity, and Service, which guide all company interactions.

BMFA primarily supports fire departments nationwide by ethically helping them acquire the best apparatus within their budgets. Mr. Wessel's vision emphasizes integrity, measuring success not just by 500+ annual truck sales, but by supporting and serving those dedicated to protecting their communities across the country.

Who We Are:

Brindlee Mountain Fire Apparatus sits on 43 picturesque acres in rural Alabama. The landscape is tranquil but it only takes a short visit to the campus to realize that the pace of work is anything but slow.  The employees at BMFA work hard and do so from the time they step on campus to the time they drive away. At any given point while walking through the buildings you will see people focused on their tasks. You might hear all out laughter as team members share life adventures but you will always witness people committed to and enjoying their jobs.


BMFA is all about fire trucks and, in doing so, is all about being a resource to Fire Departments of all sizes. Through that business model, BMFA also places caring for its employees of paramount importance.
