奥什科什公司（NYSE：OSK）公司Pierce Manufacturing Inc.，已从Providence（RI）消防局获得订单。该订单通过Pierce经销商，效运消防和救援出售，包括四个Pierce®Saber®Pumpers，Arrow XT™底盘上的四个100英尺重型空中梯子以及Ascendant®100英尺重型空中塔楼XT底盘。100英尺重型空中梯子的自定义低总高度是该配置的第一个配置，它将支持该部门在城市历史悠久的消防站内的可操作性要求。
Additionally, the new apparatus will provide critical fleet updates to ensure the community’s fire and emergency service needs are met for years to come. “As the process of selecting new fire apparatus began, we knew we needed and wanted heavy-duty ladders that would be maneuverable in our historic firehouses and on city streets,” said Michael Bates, assistant chief of the Providence Fire Department. “We were pleased with Pierce’s ability to reengineer a fire truck to meet all of our requirements. Our department has been fortunate to work with Pierce and the Allegiance Fire and Rescue team, who didn’t take a typical sales approach but rather suggested features that they knew would be best for us.”
The Providence Fire Department’s new fire apparatus will feature:

Chief Bates added, “We chose the mid-mount tower because it best suits the Providence Fire Department’s needs. It’s shorter than any other tower, has excellent set-up speed, is maneuverable in tight downtown and residential streets, and the below-grade extension is remarkable.”
所有的9个新灭火器将包括the added safety attributes of Pierce’s Carcinogen Awareness and Reduction to Exposure (CARE) cab customization, including removable and washable seat covers, diamond plate floors, and Line-X coverage on metal surfaces within the cabs for enhanced durability and cleanability.
“我们的效忠消防和救援团队很荣幸有机会为普罗维登斯消防局提供对社区如此重要的消防机构的命令，” Allegiance Fire and Rescue销售和营销副总裁Bill O’Connor说。“在我们的销售代表安德鲁·希尔斯曼（Andrew Hilsman）评估了该部门的独特挑战和设备要求之后，我们喜欢识别和开发定制解决方案。我知道每辆新的消防车都会提供该部门期望的服务的绩效和寿命。”
普罗维登斯消防局由12个站和400名人员组成，年度服务量约为45,000。预计该部门的新泵送者将于2021年6月，2021年7月的新塔以及2021年8月的新梯子进行。
