New Rescue Inspection |

| On Thursday of this week, members of our new Rescue specification committee flew to Appleton, Wisconsin to inspect our new Rescue truck at the Pierce Manufacturing facility. Committee members inspected the truck on Thursday night and during the day Friday. On Saturday, photos were sent home and the commitee received a tour of the Pierce factory, and a list was compiled of changes that might need to be made. The truck is scheduled to leave the factory in the next few days and will be driven back to Pennsylvania by our sales office, Glick Fire Equipment of Bird in Hand, PA. Once home in Pennsylvania, tools will be layed out and mounting of all the equipment will begin in early January. Following the mounting of the tools, striping and lettering will need to be completed, and the radios will need to be installed. The final step will be inspection for our certifications by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. We hope to have the truck in service in just about 2 months. |
