8/12/2010 Pierce Sponsors "Tour of Duty"

At precisely 8:46 am this morning of August 12th, 2010, 36 Australian and American firefighters left the Santa Monica, CA pier for a 4,600 mile continuous relay run called the "Tour of Duty" across the United States in remembrance of victims of the September 11th terrorist attacks. After going through the major cities of Las Vegas, Arizona, Albuquerque, Oklahoma, Houston, New Orleans, Mississippi, Memphis, St. Louis, Chicago, Washington D.C., and Baltimore, the run is set to finish at the World Trade Center site early on the morning of September 11th.

This run commemorates the 411 fire-fighters, police officers, and emergency medical technicians and paramedics who gave their lives on 9/11 to fulfill their duty and serve their communities. Pierce Manufacturing is one of the sponsors of this worldwide fundraising endurance event, and has supplied a Pierce Velocity "Tour of Duty" engine to follow the lead runners every mile of the way. Through the Pennsylvania leg of the tour, select PA firefighters will be behind the wheel of the engine.

Included in one of the few scheduled stops, is a tribute at the Flight 93 crash site in Shanksville. This is to take place on September 5th at 1:30pm.

All are encouraged to come out to the route, which can be found at www.tourofduty.com.au and show your support for the men and woman participating in the relay, as the world unites to remember all the men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice on September 11, 2001

The RediMedic is being introduced to the market with a robust inventory of stock vehicles, and a shorter than tradition lead-time for fleet purchases. The ambulance is available on Ford, GMC or Dodge platforms with a choice of either gas or diesel engines.
