Take a look at some behind-the-scenes photos of a final inspection at Pierce in Appleton, Wisconsin! 📸
This week, Reliant team members were on the blue floor for two fire trucks — one from Livonia Fire Department (Michigan), and the other from Pleasant Prairie Fire Department (Wisconsin).
This final step in the manufacturing process allows fire department representatives the opportunity to inspect their fire trucks and test components as required. Over the course of a few days, the truck is reviewed from bumper to tailboard, the undercarriage to an aerial device, to ensure every component, nut, bolt and screw is in optimal condition.
The goal of this final evaluation is simple: Confirm the truck includes every item detailed in the customer order, is functioning as designed and meets Pierce’s high-quality standards.
The final customer inspection usually includes firefighters from the purchasing fire department and the customer’s dealer.
Typically, the customer will take their order and options-list and go through each item, one by one.
Any requested repairs are also marked directly on the truck with a piece of blue tape, so the manufacturing team knows exactly where any changes or minor repairs need to be addressed.
Once the Pierce team reviews the modification requests and completes a walk-around to review the marked blue tape areas of the fire truck, final adjustments are made.
Fire trucks are brought back to the manufacturing bays and every point of repair inputted is documented and photographed to show the customer all adjustments have been completed.

𝟐𝟓 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬 𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫, 𝐰𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫. 𝐖𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐡𝐨𝐧𝐨𝐫.
This year marks the 25th anniversary of 9/11. Team Reliant will once again be participating in the annual 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb, held Saturday, Sept. 12, 2026, at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wis.
“The 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb is a powerful way for us to come together, reflect and honor the 343 firefighters who made the ultimate sacrifice,” said Assistant Chief Ray Fuiten of the Green Bay Metro Fire Department. “We are committed to making this year’s event the most impactful yet, ensuring their legacy continues to inspire future generations.”
Participants will climb the equivalent of 110 stories — the height of the World Trade Center towers. Along the way, each climber carries an honor badge bearing the name and photograph of one of the 343 fallen firefighters, symbolically completing the journey they never had the chance to finish.
At the equivalent of the 78th floor, which was the highest point reached by firefighters on September 11, 2001, participants will pause to ring a fire bell in solemn remembrance, honoring the courage, sacrifice, and selflessness displayed that day.
This is more than a stair climb. It’s a promise that we will never forget those who answered the call, never forget their sacrifice, and never stop telling their story.
