The new 23,000-square-foot headquarters in Wellford, SC, and expanded service center in Dillon, SC strengthen Spartan Fire’s statewide service network and commitment to customer support.
APPLETON, Wis. (October 9, 2025) – Pierce Manufacturing Inc., an Oshkosh Corporation (NYSE:OSK) business, is proud to announce its dedicated dealer for South Carolina, Spartan Fire and Emergency Apparatus (Spartan Fire), has opened its new company headquarters and service center located along the I-85 corridor in upstate South Carolina. The 23,000-square-foot facility in Wellford, South Carolina marks a major milestone for Spartan Fire, doubling the size of its former headquarters and reinforcing the company’s long-standing commitment to providing trusted service and support for fire departments throughout the state.
In addition to the new headquarters, Spartan Fire has expanded its service footprint with the opening of a new 12,000-square-foot facility in Dillon, South Carolina. Conveniently located in Northeastern South Carolina, the Dillon shop ensures Spartan Fire can provide responsive support across the Pee Dee region (the northeastern region of South Carolina) and beyond.
Spartan Fire now operates three full-service locations including, Wellford, Summerville, and Dillon, forming a service “triangle” designed to keep every customer within two hours of a Spartan Fire facility. Each location is staffed with a dedicated service manager, parts team, and both in-house and mobile technicians, ensuring customers have access to a wide range of maintenance and repair services for all makes and models of apparatus.
“We don’t just talk about service; we’ve been performing it for decades,” said Robby Fore, president of Spartan Fire. “Our performance and dedication are the reasons for our growth. This new headquarters and expanded service network allow us to maintain the quality our customers have come to expect while meeting the increasing demand for fire and emergency apparatus service across South Carolina.”
The new headquarters features five drive-through service bays, a pump-testing area, expanded parts warehouse space, and five acres of usable land for customer vehicles and future expansion. The facility also accommodates Spartan Fire’s growing staff, with new office space for its full headquarters team, including service writers, parts managers, technicians, and the company’s first dedicated marketing professional.
“This growth has been gradual and intentional, allowing us to scale in a way which preserves the quality of service our customers rely on,” said Mary Elise Greenway, general manager of Spartan Fire. “It wouldn’t have been possible without our people, our team members, our customers, and our partnership with Pierce Manufacturing. They’ve all made this journey possible, and this new chapter reflects their trust and support.”
Spartan Fire has retained its former headquarters facility in Roebuck, South Carolina which will be repurposed for additional service offerings in the near future.
Founded in 1973, Spartan Fire has grown from a small, three-person team to more than 40 employees dedicated to serving fire departments across South Carolina. As a Pierce Dealer of the Year award recipient, the company has built a reputation for delivering exceptional service beyond the sale, a core value which continues to fuel its expansion and enduring partnership with Pierce Manufacturing.
Spartan Fire’s expansion further highlights the strength of Pierce’s dealer network, which includes more than 120 service centers across North America dedicated to delivering industry-leading service and support.
