Fire Chief Rob Duggan

"Integrating an electric fire truck into our fleet introduced a whole new set of challenges. The Pierce team worked closely with us to ensure we were fully prepared to deploy Arizona's first electric pumper. Their exceptional communication, education and training instilled confidence in both the product and the new technology across our organization.”
