About Bulldog Fire Apparatus

At Bulldog, we have a well-known history and dedication to the fire and EMS industry. The business was originally established in 1933 by Clarence Farrar as a fire apparatus manufacturer. A national dealer, the company produced a wide range of fire apparatus. They were most recognized for their Brush Breaker and front mount pump specialty trucks.

In 1985, the company was purchased by Edward J. Murphy and renamed the EJ Murphy Co. Under Murphy’s leadership, we stopped manufacturing many of our fire apparatus and instead focused on “boutique” work that other larger fire manufacturers could not deliver on. Due to their popularity, we continued to make the Brush Breaker and our tankers, which we still manufacture today.
