This was a Pierce Demo. Note the Plano where the Pierce used to be on the ladder sign. Also no Q siren like the Plano rigs all had at the time.



Thanks for posting.

Plano bought the Pierce demo because their Truck 1 at the time, a 1982 American LaFrance Century, failed its ladder test. They figured it would be more cost effective to buy a new rig than to bring the ALF's ladder back into compliance. They were probably right, as this Pierce has served them well.
