Pierce and several federal agencies, the Bureau of Land Management, the National Park Service, and the Bureau of Indian Affairs, have jointly developed a Type III urban interface engine. The Model 14 is widely in use in both federal and local fire protection agencies. The Model 14 continues to evolve to meet the 21st century requirements of the wildland/urban interface fire community.

Pumps

• 500 gpm, two-stage Darley JPM, PTO-driven.
• Exclusive Pierce Hercules Compressed Air Foam Systems available.
• Black vinyl-covered pump panels that reduce glare for the operator are standard. 
• Removable pump panels provide access to the pump for maintenance.

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.
• 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.
• Rear pump controls allow for compartments to extend to the back of the cab.
• Dual hose reels over top of pump, between water tank and foam cell. 
• 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).
• Large capacity hosebeds.
• 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.
