Heiman Fire Equipment was founded in 1947 by Jack B. Heiman who, after returning from World War II, inquired about an ad in the Argosy and Sports Afield magazines for a distributor of Fyr Fyter Co. fire extinguishers. Jack began selling Red Ball fire extinguishers in the local area farming community in northwest Iowa. Since its modest beginnings in 1947, Heiman Fire Equipment has evolved into a multi-faceted company with over 50 employees, 16 fire salesmen in 7 states, and 4 industrial salesmen. At Heiman Fire Equipment we pride ourselves on maintaining the ‘small town’ quality and customer service that the company was founded on. Specializing in all aspects of fire equipment from hoses and nozzles to fire apparatus, we are committed to providing the best selection of fire equipment, exceptional customer service, and innovations in fire product technology.
