Tyler Fire Equipment was founded by Wayne and Vickie Tyler in June 1977. Upon returning to Elmira, New York in June 1977, Wayne and Vickie operated the business out of their home. They purchased a small two bay shop in March 1979 to perform apparatus service work and better prepare new apparatus for delivery.

In March 1981 they leased a 3,600 square foot facility enabling them to better perform service work on sold apparatus and expand the service end of the organization. They officially formed TYFESCO, Tyler Fire Equipment Service Corp., on November 4, 1983.

In early 2009, Pierce terminated Tyler's dealership contract after years of complaints from customers, including a few within Rockland County. This resulted in Firematic Supply being granted expanded territory, which included Rockland County. 5-CFR would be the last Pierce apparatus delivered to Rockland by Tyler in early 2009.
