All these are 2000 GPM Pumps, 200 gallon water tank and 50 gallon Class B foam tank on the Platform

Since Richmond made the big move to Pierce, Henrico, Chesterfield Counties, around us and other departments within an 1 to 2 hours ride of Richmond has made large purchases of Pierces.





A new 14 bay service center has been open for about 6 months in the area.
