We are pleased to announce that Fouts Bros Inc. will host “Home Day” at our corporate headquarters in Milledgeville, GA, on Thursday, November 7th, 2024. As a long-standing member of the Fire Apparatus Manufacturers’ Association (FAMA), this event will highlight our company’s growth, critical support, and local employment efforts that enable us to manufacture life-saving equipment for the fire service industry across North America.

We cordially invite you and key members of your staff to join us for an in-depth review of the fire service industry, its impact on local and state employment, and the first responder community. We are honored to announce that the Fouts Home Day will feature a keynote address by The Honorable Austin Scott, U.S. Congress District 8, followed by guided tours of our facility.

Founded in 1952 and still family-owned and operated, Fouts Bros Inc. is one of the largest and most diverse manufacturers of fire, commercial truck, van, and automotive equipment in the U.S. Over the past seven decades, we have grown from a single service station in Smyrna, GA, into a thriving collection of industrial brands. Our focus remains on manufacturing smart, efficient apparatus to keep our fire, fleet, service, and military customers across the country prepared and ready to serve.

With nearly 1,000 Georgia residents working in the manufacturing and distribution of fire and emergency service equipment, a key aspect of our Home Day event will be to highlight the importance of the Assistance to Firefighters Grants (AFG) and SAFER Grants. These grants support fire departments, EMS organizations, and fire training facilities in Georgia. Recently, Scott Edens joined Gary Pacilio, EVP of Operations and current FAMA President, in Washington, DC, to advocate for this essential funding for Georgia’s firefighters and first responders. We are proud of our congressional delegation for their efforts in securing this appropriation for the benefit of Georgia’s citizens.

Home Day is sponsored by FAMA, a nonprofit association for manufacturers of the fire and emergency services industry. This organization works through a Governmental Affairs Committee (GAC) to build awareness and offer resources supporting the first responder community. We see ourselves as a vital part of the industry that helps first responders save lives.

The event is scheduled to begin at 1:00 pm and conclude at 3:00 pm. The Fouts leadership team looks forward to demonstrating the importance of our business within the fire and emergency services industry and introducing you to our team of over 350 employees. Please RSVP to Madison Reynolds at [email protected] or 770-630-7550 by November 1st to confirm your attendance.

We look forward to welcoming you and your team to Home Day at Fouts Bros Inc. for an enriching experience!
