From The Chief
Chief Thomas B. Glick, II
"We always feel great when we work with Pierce. The PUC apparatus was an important choice for us. Additional storage space for equipment was a must-have as our roles continue to expand. This apparatus allows us to carry that equipment and serve the needs of our growing community without having to worry about whether or not our firefighters will be safe while on the job. Pierce continues to build state-of-the-art apparatus, and we're looking forward to our next purchase - an Ascendant aerial."
