In the Heart of Brethren, MI: The Dickson Township Fire Department's Partnership with Alumaclear and Alumawrap
In Brethren, MI, the Dickson Township Fire Department has long been a cornerstone of public safety, responding to emergencies and ensuring the well-being of the community. Their fire trucks are not only life-saving tools but also symbols of strength and commitment. Keeping these trucks in peak condition is crucial, which is why the department turned to Alumaclear and Alumawrap for enhanced protection and longevity for their fleet of - Spartan Star Series Custom CAFS (Compressed Air Foam System) pumper fire trucks.
Protecting and Enhancing Fire Trucks with Alumaclear and Ceramic Coating

To ensure their fire trucks remain both functional and visually striking, the Dickson Township Fire Department uses Alumaclear and ceramic coatings. These trucks face the daily challenge of environmental exposure—rain, snow, salt, and road debris can corrode metal surfaces and tarnish their appearance over time. Thanks to Alumaclear on all aluminum and diamond plate areas, the trucks are well-protected from the elements. In addition, ceramic coatings now cover the painted surfaces and windshield, providing an extra layer of defense.
Why Alumaclear and Ceramic Coating for Fire Trucks?
- Superior Protection: Alumaclear forms a resilient shield over aluminum surfaces, preventing corrosion, oxidation, and pitting. On top of this, the ceramic coatings on painted surfaces and windshields offer durable protection against UV rays, rain, and road debris, ensuring a long-lasting finish.
- Long-Lasting Shine: A gleaming fire truck is a source of pride. Alumaclear preserves the truck's high-gloss finish, while ceramic coatings keep the painted surfaces polished and clean.
- Low Maintenance: With Alumaclear and ceramic coatings in place, the trucks require less frequent detailing. This saves both time and money, enabling the department to focus on operations rather than upkeep.
- Durability: Fire trucks are exposed to harsh conditions, including soot, ash, and road grime. Alumaclear and ceramic coatings provide robust protection, helping maintain the trucks’ appearance despite these challenges.
Alumawrap: Added Protection and Practicality

In addition to Alumaclear and ceramic coatings, Alumawrap has been applied to key areas of the trucks to prevent wear and tear in high-impact zones. Lower door sill areas have been wrapped to shield the paint from scratches, and the rear hose storage area up top features Alumawrap to protect the surface from damage caused by removing and installing water hoses. This combination of clear coating and wrapping provides comprehensive protection for the trucks.
The Benefits of Wrapping Fire Trucks
- Scratch Protection: High-contact areas like door sills and hose storage spots are safeguarded from scratches with Alumawrap, ensuring that the trucks maintain their pristine appearance.
- Customizable Design: Alumawrap offers more than just protection—it also allows the fire department to add custom graphics, including station logos, bold lettering, and other branding that showcases community pride.
- Easily Replaceable: Alumawrap is not permanent and can be replaced if needed. Whether it’s a design update or replacing worn sections, the process is simple and cost-effective.
- Budget-Friendly: Compared to traditional repainting, wrapping is a more affordable option that offers both protection and customization without breaking the budget.
