That's pretty cool. Glad that NU has this relationship with the Fire Department.

That is really cool. Maybe the truck could be used at parades and games. At UCSD the university donated land to build a new fire station on campus that is now under construction. I’m passing the photo along to my UCSD contacts in hopes that maybe the city might incorporate school colors somehow at the new firehouse and maybe on some of the fire vehicles.

Puts a little more perspective on it, and that's a sweet looking ride.

$800,000 for a fire truck? That thing better be able to put out fires on the moon!

Here is a link to the Pierce Manufacturing website with another pic and detailed specs of the truck.

The Pierce home website is worth checking out. They have videos and pictures of firetrucks they have produced for fire departments across the country. Truly amazing custom vehicles. They are also now producing eclectic trucks.
