From The Chief

Fire Chief Teresa Robinson

"The new apparatus Pierce delivered was built with our firefighters' needs in mind. Every detail, from compartmentation to operator controls, was thoughtfully designed. Events with the size limitations of our older stations, Pierce made sure the unit fit without compromising functionality. Their ability to tailor a build to our exact needs is why we keep coming back."
