Konecky brings a combined 17 years of fire truck sales experience from Smeal Fire Apparatus and Spartan Motors to his regional role, which encompasses states west of Colorado, Nebraska, and the Dakotas. He is a third-generation volunteer firefighter with 30 years of experience with Mead (NE) Fire and Rescue (MFR), where he has held every position at the 30-member department, including 10 years as chief. At MFR, Konecky implemented an annual budget and apparatus replacement strategy that rolled the department's 35-year-old units into a 20-year replacement cycle for fire apparatus and a 10-year replacement strategy for ambulances.
