Pretty neat not gonna lie, my dad was firefighter in Essex County, NJ thats like Newark, right across the river from NYC. Growing up I always was curious how they made fire trucks.
Also all the tools & almost all of the equipment that will be carried by the vehicle must be purchased separately. And the cost of all that gear is probably roughly equal to the cost of the vehicle.
those things cost A LOT of money a pumper ranges from 100,000 to 1 million dollars depending on the quality you dont want to know about ladders and rescue trucks
Favorite feature on R2 is the freight train air horn installed in the middle section above the cab. The thing is priceless, however not covered in the vid. Very interesting and informative video though.
@redwind661 i love pierce but i also am in a smaller town. for large cities e-one is cost effecrtive and long lastng...i like to think of it as pierce is kinda luxurious and expensive but good while e-one is mass producable and cheaper but well made and built to last..for a big city i would go with e-one pierce mix
Guys seriously Pierce isnt the only manufacturer out there! I for one hate pierce. My dept. has 5 pierce pumps. Nothing but huge pains in the asses since we got them! Our 91 KME is in service more than the 04 pierce. Just because they build a fancy truck, doesn't make them the best. Try working on a pierce. Your opinion will change.

Sucks the Saulsbury Plant closed, I use to drive past it all the time on my way to Syracuse NY. It was sweet seeing all the new rigs outside.
