Bulldog Carries the Complete Ward Line-up
Taking on a new apparatus brand in 2022, Bulldog Fire & Emergency Apparatus is now a proud distributor for Ward Apparatus. Carrying their complete line of vehicles, we serve customers in Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, and the Northeast Counties of New York.
Ward Apparatus, located in Horseheads, NY, with a 188,000 square foot facility, acquired MCB in January 2021. MCB has been in continuous operation since 1976, with origins as Cayel Craft Ambulances which, for over a decade, manufactured industry-leading ambulances for the EMS marketplace. Ward Apparatus will continue that legacy, building emergency vehicles that are safe, durable, and of exceptional quality. When Ward apparatus say “customized,” they do not mean a base model with some options. Ward Apparatus builds the body YOU need to carry all your equipment in the most efficient, accessible manner.

Purchasing a New Fire Truck
For organizations of all kinds, purchasing a new fire apparatus can be a daunting task. Municipalities especially have a unique set of challenges to meet in today’s tough economic climate. We understand this is not an easy process, which is why we work one-on-one with you, or your entire committee, to educate you and assist you in making the right decision for your community.
At Bulldog, our sales representatives are well-versed on Ward’s complete line of model offerings. They attend Ward’s training, sales meeting, and supplemental webinars to stay up-to-date on the latest from the manufacturer. They also keep up on industry trends and changes to help enlighten you on what other departments are doing around the country.
What to Expect When Working with Bulldog
Each new vehicle begins with a detailed process to uncover your wants and needs. After our initial meeting, we get Ward involved to help draft up the drawings and specifications of your vehicle. We work with you to customize each aspect of your unit, ensuring you have the basics covered and the additional features you desire. If you’re going out to bid, we will also put together a detailed proposal with a bottom line number to aid you in the process.
Once you’ve chosen to work with Bulldog and Ward, we will set up a pre-construction meeting. Here, you will converse with us and your Ward project engineer. Your Ward engineer specializes in the type of model you choose, to lend additional expertise to your build. We cover every paragraph of the specifications in detail and discuss any changes you’d like made. We want you to understand exactly what you’re getting before the fire truck goes into production.
Ongoing Support Through Service
Our customers often tell us that the thing they like most about working with Bulldog is we truly are a one-stop shop. While getting your new fire truck is the exciting part, considering how you will service it long term should not be overlooked. If you have an issue with your unit, you deal with our friendly and knowledgeable service department.
We can cover all of your service needs including in-shop and on-site repair, preventative maintenance, custom fabrication, accident repair, body and paint work, refurbishments, remounts, equipment mounting, aerial and pump testing, antique restoration, and graphics.
