The Hawk® was created by Pierce specifically for the demanding situations of wildland and urban-interface firefighting. It will easily take firefighters into off-road terrain that can be difficult or even unpassable for large, Type I engines. This is an initial attack engine that can reach fires in rough terrain before they threaten homes and lives.

• Each pumper designed/engineered specifically to the customer's needs.
• Tow bar rated at 20,000 lb. as standard. Located at the rear of the tailboard. Accessible without crawling under the truck. The unique design can also serve as a tie off point to stabilize loads without worry of chaffing rope.
  

Pumps

• Waterous, Hale, or Darley Midship (500 to 1000 gpm) & PTO (250 to 1000 gpm) pumps available.
• Exclusive Pierce Husky foam systems available.
• Exclusive Pierce Hercules Compressed Air Foam Systems available.

Electrical

• All electrical systems are coded by color and function every three inches.
• Harnesses are loom protected.
• Deutsch connectors are utilized to help prevent corrosion.

Body

• Aluminum extruded rub rails, bolted on for easy repair.
• Two body lengths and several body configurations available.
• Bodies are of a formed and welded construction for durable, long lasting design without the unnecessary weight.
• Exclusive Pierce underslung steel body supports featuring three-point isolated-mount system. This reduces torsional stress and road shock from being transmitted into the body. The underslung design prevents compartment floors from sagging after years of use.
• Interior of all compartments are painted with multispec to hide dirt, abrasions, and protect from oil, gas, and hydraulic spills.
• Automotive-style hinged doors constructed with double pan, double seals, enclosed latches, and .25" hinge pins.
• Roll-up doors with lifetime warranty (available in satin or painted finish).
• Hosebed dividers are designed with an extrusion surrounding the sheet to provide a stiffer and superior divider.
• Diamond plate overlays in potential high scuff areas are just that "overlays" and not an integral part of the body for easy replacement if they become damaged.
• Handrails are Pierce's exclusive "cross knurled" design to reduce hand slippage.
• All running boards and tailboard are spaced from body to improve water run-off.
