From The Chief
Chief Keith H. Johnson
"Pierce understands customer needs and ensures consistency throughout the build process. They always evaluate the ever-changing needs of fire service, and we took advantage of custom storage solutions as a result. Our new apparatus is reliable and provides fire suppression and advanced life support that keeps our firefighters and EMS professionals safe and secure."
