**Battalion Chief Roger Rinehart **

"Our challenge was to build a Type 1 fire engine with wildland urban interface capabilities to meet the needs of our district and the diverse landscape of California. Accessibility was a big factor. Pierce never once said “no,” delivering an engine just over 27 feet with an overall height of 9.8 feet.”
