Here are the production pictures of our new pumper under construction at Pierce manufacturing in Appleton, Wisconsin.

As you may or may not recall, in August 2013, the Company approved to purchase a 2014 Pierce Impel engine with a Rescue-Pumper type body from Pierce Manufacturing. Our local dealership is Glick Fire Equipment in Bird-In-Hand PA, with our salesman Curt Woerth.

New pictures and updates will be shared as we receive them from the factory and our salesman. Older pictures and updates will be posted at the top and the newer ones will be towards the bottom.
