We recently purchased two covers from D&S Custom Covers. One for our Engine with the bow system, and the other was a custom cover for our Rescue. Everything went smoothly from start to finish. Dave was extremely patient and knowledgeable. The covers look very durable and made of high quality materials. The amazing part of this project was from the initial call and pictures, to the install was just a few short weeks! We are very satisfied with everything and will continue to use D&S Custom Covers in the future for all of our trucks. Thank you for everything!

Woodstock Fire Department Inc.
The Woodstock Fire Department Inc., Woodstock, Virginia had sent Dave and the staff at D&S Custom Covers an older hosebed cover, off our 1996 Engine, to have it repaired and add the chevron striping to the rear flap. After comparing repair cost and replacement cost we chose to have a replacement made. After placing the new hosebed cover on the engine we all noticed the quality in material and workmanship, plus the fit and finish was superb. We couldn’t ask for a better job.

At the next department meeting, after looking over D & S’s cost estimate for a second cover, the membership decided to have a new hosebed cover made for our 1990 Seagrave. Again the workmanship and quality was superb. An above all, both jobs came in under budget.

A D & S Custom hosebed cover will be required the next time the Woodstock Fire Department purchase’s fire apparatus.

Our experiences with D&S have been extremely positive. Dave and his staff are all knowledgeable about their custom product and working with them is effortless.

The materials used for the covers are extremely durable and because we have so many variations on fire apparatus, the fit is tailored for any application. The fastening system is unique and simple to use with a gloved hand and in our opinion, it works better than any other fastening devices on the market.

We will continue to recommend D&S to all of our customers, in addition to Pierce dealers nationwide.

Lyn-Dan Heights VFD
Recently the Lyn-Dan Heights VFD replaced their 2001 Pierce Contender's hose bed cover with a new chevron striped cover manufactured by D&S Custom Covers.

Dave and the rest of the staff were very helpful and easy to work with in making this change to our engine. The cover was well constructed of high quality materials and installed identical to the original cover. The cover has the added feature of buckled straps to help hold the cover flat and secure. Even though our engine is not required to have chevrons on the rear, to be compliant with the newest version of NFPA 1901, our department puts the safety of its members first.

These chevrons will help make the engine more visible when responding to emergencies as well as on scene. Company 15 is a strong supporter of the motto "Everyone Goes Home."

"First off we would like to thank Dave and his team for the professional and fast service that he provided. When we first started looking into having a hose bed cover for our front line pumper the prices we got were outrageous. We contacted D & S Custom Covers and spoke with Dave. We had to take a few measurements, which Dave walked us through, and within a few days he gave us a price. We received the covers a few weeks later. With very little effort 3 guys had the cover installed within a few hours. Our station prides ourselves on the look of our trucks but even more important to us is how our apparatus performs in the time of need. We have deployed our 5” LDH hose several times since the installation of the cover and it works flawlessly. One of the best pay offs for us is the fact that now our hose is protected from the snow, salt, and sun. We have also received several positive comments from our neighbouring departments on the appearance of our truck. D & S Custom Covers Was a pleasure to work with and we have since ordered the same style of cover for our pumper tanker."

JW Carney Inc.
"Dave, just a note to let you know how pleased we and the fire department were after installing the cover you "re-engineered" for us recently. Picture "Tarp 1" shows the "other guy’s" cover as received from the competition and picture "TARP 6" shows the cover after it went through your shop. Thank you for fixing the poor fit, reinforced the strength, lettering and installing on the truck.

Rest assured that the trucks we order in the future will all be equipped with D&S Custom Covers!"

The design and workmanship of these covers is second to none. Our order was delivered and installed within the time promised. We were so pleased with our original three covers that we ordered two more and highly recommended D&S to our neighboring departments, of which one ordered covers for four of their units!

While most customers select us for our strength and customer service, President Matt Powell, at the Punxsutawney Fire Department, appreciated that our covers helped eliminate mildew and stink. Read his complete testimonial here.

Philadelphia FD
We recently created and installed hose bed covers on 68 frontline and reserve pumpers for the Philadelphia Fire Department. See the images of the Philadelphia Job.

Tom Cramer-Captain
Our department responded to a mutual aid alarm. The hydrant man charged the line without realizing we had 1400 feet left in the hose bed that was covered by a D&S tarp. The line tarp raised approximately 2 feet above the hose bed rails and did not tear, get distorted, or break any hooks. Since that time, we have purchased two more tarps for our engines.
