When people are ready to buy a new ambulance they often turn to Braun who is known for selling premier quality emergency vehicles. They have now broadened their range with a new ambulance called the Braun Responder. It is a small Type III Ambulance based on the Freightliner Sprinter Chassis, and it looks to offer the level of quality we expect from Braun in a small, maneuverable package.
Braun’s own list of features for the Responder is as follows:
12.5’ Module length / Maximize Storage Space
Isolated O2 Compartment compliant with NFPA1917 / Safety
EZ Glide Sliding side entry door with 4” lowered entry height /Improved Ergonomics
Door-Forward design / Optimize Interior Space
MasterTech IV Electrical System / Ease of Use & Maintenance
VitalMax LED lighting package / Superior Shadowless Lighting
Angled Power Distribution Quarters / Ease of Maintenance
Forward Facing Seating / Crew Safety
Ergonomic Equipment Storage Design / Easy to reach all equipment
EVS 1760 4-Point Curbside Seating with fold-up seat cushion /Maximum working space

The Braun Responder looks to be a handy addition to the Braun fleet. It isn’t much bigger than a Type II Ambulance, but is able offer many of the functional advantages of a Type III Ambulance. We, at Global Emergency Vehicles, look forward to having Braun Responders in our inventory of used ambulances in the future.
We have numerous used fire apparatuses in our inventory, but nothing quite as old as this 1910 Christie Fire Engine. It is a relic from the dawn of the automobile, and shows how fire response vehicles changed when the internal combustion engine was developed.
In the video, Jay Leno takes us through this classic emergency vehicle, which is basically a horse-drawn boiler attached to the back of a front wheel drive Christie chassis. Motorization changed fire fighting forever, and this Christie Fire Engine marks the very beginning. The internal combustion engine allowed fire engines to travel faster than they could with horses, both in out-right speed as well as in average speed because a motor doesn’t get tired like a horse does. Of course, when responding to a fire call, haste is the utmost priority, so the faster a fire response vehicle can be, the better.
Fire response vehicles have changed a lot since then. Just looking around our lot at the used fire apparatuses we have for sale, it is crazy to think that they can all trace their lineage back to early vehicles this Christie Fire Engine. Enjoy learning about this piece of history.
We picked up this used fire apparatus from a small town fire department. This specially built Hummer brush truck is quite rare and we haven’t been able to find another emergency vehicle quite like this one for sale anywhere else. In addition to its rarity, this example also has only 10,000 original miles on it!
This 1994 AM General Hummer Mini Pumper is definitely one of the more interesting trucks in our inventory of used firefighting equipment. Hummers are always cool to begin with, but finding one like this, in full brush truck specification, is pretty unique, making this thing extra sweet.
