PIERCE FINAL ASSEMBLY HEAVY RESCUE VEHICLES IN APPLETON, WIS.

Here is a picture Lynn sent me yesterday from his recent trip to Appleton, Wis. to pick up their newest Pierce Vehicle.
Pierce is North Americas leading fire and rescue apparatus manufacturers. Lynn has made the trip several times from the state of Wash. to drive home new equipment.
Pierce just landed a contract with the U.S. Army for 51 TFFT vehicles, ( TacticalFirefighterTrucks. ) for 37 million dollars. The picture below this one shows how they will look.
One of the newest features in the modern trucks is front air bags.
The closest vehicle in the picture will be heading out to Boston, Mass.
