In the near future, Pierce Manufacturing will deliver this brand-new Tanker 11 to the Blacksburg Fire Department in Blacksburg, Virginia.
Pierce Manufacturing, headquartered in Bradenton, Florida, specializes in the custom construction of fire trucks. They offer a wide range of apparatus, including pumpers, aerial platforms, and tankers, to support local fire and rescue departments nationwide.

A Pierce tanker serves as a mobile water pipeline for fire departments, providing emergency fire services in neighborhoods lacking functional fire hydrants. Consequently, it transports substantial volumes of water directly to rural or highway accident scenes, providing essential firefighting support.
