Pierce Manufacturing received an order for five Pierce Arrow XT pumpers from the Bellevue (Wash.) Fire Department. The department already has two Arrow XT pumpers in its fleet.

“Adding these five Pierce pumpers will make seven of our nine first-line pumpers Pierce,” said Bellevue Fire Department Battalion Chief Lou Faehnrich. “This serves to standardize operations, training maintenance procedures and overall efficiency,”

Each of the new pumpers is equipped with a 500-gallon water tank, a 1,750-gpm pump, a Husky 12 foam system, internal ladder storage, rollup compartment doors and an LED light package, including warning and step lights. The cab features seating for six firefighters; frontal impact and side roll protection systems; EMS cabinets; a tire pressure monitoring system; and a dual module vehicle data recorder (VDR).

Pierce dealer Hughes Fire Equipment, Inc. of Springfield, Ore., provides local service and support.
