Updates and Innovations

SPACEIncreased space so you're ready for any situation.
|
VISIBILITYPrepare to see what you're up against.Visibility innovations include:
|
 |
 A significantly lower, single piece panoramic windshield has been lowered a full 10 inches for excellent outward visibility. |
 The ergonomically designed control console is placed lower resulting in switches, radios, and controls being located out of critical sight lines. |
 Teardrop front door windows and larger, side middle windows offer firefighters significantly improved visibility. |
 |
Safety
|
 Cab firewall is 1/4" thick aluminum plate backed with a welded 1/2" cross support for better occupant protection. |
SERVICEABILITYSimple. Organized. Easy to access.We've made the Dash CF™ much easier to service. Here's how:
|
 The console on the officer’s side has removable panels, allowing you to easily service the battery chargers, defroster and single wiper motor system. |
 We’ve relocated the batteries, alternator, air cleaner, and belts making these components more accessible forward on the chassis. |
 Tilt the cab and you’ll find that the chassis filters are located together in one central location on the frame rail for convenient maintenance. |

TRUE HEAVY-DUTY CONSTRUCTIONStrength throughout the cab.

Greenfield Fire Department
Greenfield, Wisconsin - Truck Number 23580 (2 Trucks)
 |
|
Greenfield Fire Department provides EMS and Fire Protection for the City of Greenfield which has a population of 36,300. Fifty-one firefighters from two fire stations respond to 4500 emergency calls per year covering 11.3 square miles.
Why a PUC? The PUC’s short wheelbase provides maneuverability and easy access to the pump and plumbing for service were two important reasons why the department chose a PUC. |

This truck has several unique features that the department and Reliant
Fire Apparatus worked with Pierce to deliver the functionality they need
for operations. The lower crosslay provides storage for 50’ of 5.00”
suction hose for hydrants.
The 5” LDH swivel front discharge is gated to provide two beds of preconnected hose in deadlays located on top of the front bumper. The rear bed is designed for 100’ of 2.50” hose and a blitzfire nozzle for quick knockdown at garage fires. The front bed is designed for 150’ of 1.75” hose for dumpster and car fires. A hinged cover provides easy packing of hose after use. Large compartments provide storage allowing the department to carry the equipment needed for operations. An access door in the back wall of the passenger side front compartment allows quick access to the onboard lube system in the station. Large extinguisher compartments are provided in the fenders with painted doors. |
 The truck has a very low hose bed for easy access from the ground for the 1000’ of 5.00” LDH, additional hose in the removable poly trays, and ground ladders. The ladder compartment stores a 24’ two section extension ladder, a roof ladder with hooks on both ends for safer use on a house roof, and pike pole tubes oversized to allow larger taped handle grips. |

| The two large rear discharge outlets are used to supply water to the 100’ Quantum Platform the department purchased in 2009. |
