Built REAdy to serve

Charleston Upfitters is a locally owned, firefighter-founded company specializing in fire emergency vehicles, marine, and off-road UTV upfitting.

After years of firsthand experience in the fire service, we recognized a common challenge facing departments across the region—extended wait times for vehicle upfitting. Too often, fire apparatus and command vehicles are delayed because many upfitters prioritize larger law enforcement contracts, leaving fire departments waiting months to get critical vehicles into service.

Charleston Upfitters was founded to change that.

Our mission is to provide high-quality, turnkey upfitting solutions that keep first responders moving. Whether it's a fire command vehicle, a fire chief's truck, rescue unit, marine vessel, or off-road UTV, we build each vehicle to meet your operational needs with reliability, attention to detail, and industry-leading craftsmanship.

We understand that every day a vehicle sits waiting for equipment is another day it's unavailable to serve your community. That's why our focus is on efficient turnaround times, clear communication, and delivering mission-ready vehicles that allow your department to get back in service with little to no downtime.
