From The Chief
Chief Sean Doolittle
"Our department wanted to combine an engine and large rescue into one vehicle, and Pierce accommodated that request. Their engineers were able to fit a 35' ladder, 1500 gpm pump and 1000 gallons of water onto one truck with little rearranging. Pierce is highly professional, even working with us through a longer purchase and build process without pressure and we couldn't have asked for better treatment."
