Truck of the Month
????July’s truck of the month reaches new heights in Springfield, Massachusetts. Springfield Fire and Emergency Service’s Arrow XT? 100' Heavy-Duty Low Profile Steel Aerial Ladder features a 510 hp PACCAR MX-13 engine. "The short wheelbase and low profile of this truck are essential when serving our congested neighborhoods. What we make up for in response time will give us every opportunity to save lives and protect property. Pierce did an outstanding job delivering our every request on this unit."
????August’s truck of the month hails from the Bismarck Fire Department in Bismarck, North Dakota. The Velocity? 100' Heavy-Duty Steel Aerial Platform includes a 300-gallon water tank with a 2,000 gpm water pump. The apparatus also features Command Zone? and TAK-4? Independent Front Suspension. “We are thrilled to have a platform back in our department after several years of running a ladder. Seeing the attention [Pierce] put into small details, down to the drawer slides we prefer, makes us confident the apparatus was designed exactly how we want it."
