Sales Team

Our sales team has the experience to help you find the right equipment for the job at hand!

Wendy Simon, Fire Truck Sales

Wendy joined Front Line Services Inc. in 1993 after honing her customer service skills as a fast food restaurant manager. She loved the pace and customer service focus of the restaurant industry, but needed a new challenge; FLSI provides the opportunity to constantly learn and grow. She started out in equipment sales and eventually moved into selling new fire trucks. What’s most important, though, is taking care of people. Selling new fire trucks provides many opportunities to do the most thorough job possible to help the fire department overcome their unique challenges. You can reach Wendy at wsimon@flsi.net or by cell phone at (989) 284-1658.
