From The Chief
Fire Chief Mathew Underwood
“We may have a small population, but factor in ski season and that number shoots up to 10,000 by the weekend. We stand ready for spikes in activity with a mountain-strong all-Pierce fleet. Our newest apparatus needed to be as close to our 2010 platform as possible. We knew we could count on Pierce.”
