BX™ WILDLAND BROCHURE

Overview

Officer’s side of a Pierce BX™ Wildland Fire Truck parked outside near trees on a sunny day.

Top Pierce features and space-saving design come standard on the new mission-critical BX™ Wildland. The air ride cab comfortably fits 5 personnel. The stainless-steel body integrates full-depth left side compartments, 6 standard fender compartments, lowered compartment doors for better ergonomics and large undercab compartments. Departments can expect aluminum hosebed covers, integrated hatch compartments with top and rear access, flush-mounted hinged body doors, fully enclosed low height ladder storage and dedicated dry storage areas for more extensive deployment.

Standards include a 70-gallon fuel tank, bumper extension with left/right/center hose trays featuring aluminum lids, 2 bumper outlets, a hydraulic auxiliary pump for true pump-and-roll and a powerful Husky™ foam system with hose reel.

Beyond the ergonomic ladder storage, the BX™ Wildland deadlay is recess-mounted in the front pump module. Its rear plumbing connections have low connection points to keep firefighters on the ground, which prevents injuries from climbing on and off the truck to interface with controls.
