The foundation of the company goes back to 1856, when Chris Ahrens started as an apprentice in a Cincinnati steam fire engine shop.

In 1868, Ahrens began building his own highly regarded steam fire engines under the company name C. Ahrens & Co.

C. Ahrens & Co. became part of the American Fire Engine Company in 1891, which later became the International Fire Engine Company.

After the latter's bankruptcy, the Ahrens Fire Engine Company was founded in 1905, eventually becoming the Ahrens-Fox Fire Engine Company in 1910.

John P. Ahrens and Charles H. Fox founded the Ahrens-Fox Fire Engine Company in 1910, building their first motorized fire engine the following year.

In 1915, the company introduced a revolutionary design featuring a prominent spherical air chamber above the front-mounted piston pump.

This distinctive chrome-plated sphere smoothed out the pressure fluctuations from the pump, becoming a signature feature of their fire apparatus.

Ahrens-Fox continued to build its piston pumpers until 1952, when the company began shifting to more common centrifugal pumps.

The original Ahrens-Fox Fire Engine Company ceased production of fire apparatus in 1977.

The Ahrens-Fox name and its assets are now part of HME Ahrens-Fox, a privately held company that manufactures modern fire trucks and is a member of the Atonne Group.

The company continues the tradition of quality, durability, and safety, upholding the reputation established by the original Ahrens-Fox fire engines.
