Pierce Fire rigs

Post by SDnative »

Anyone who is interested in how fire rigs are manufactured by Pierce should look for the show Ultimate Factories on National Geographic Channel. They use a number of videos of SD Fire Dept rigs in action. It was on last night, and will show again sometime. "Check your local listings."
