From The Chief
Assistant Chief of Operations Kenny Frentress
"Pierce was very accommodating with all our pump panel specs to standardize the layout, and we're loving the lower hosebed. Our fireground performance has greatly improved through safer, more rapid hose deployment. The apparatus start/stop feature reduces carbon emissions to help us lower exposure to carcinogens as well."
