Howard County (MD) Fire Rescue enlisted SVI Refurb and SVI Trucks to tackle this one-of-a-kind refurb, pairing a refurbished Pierce Lance Flat 2-door chassis with an all-new SVI 27-foot aluminum body to create a one-of-a-kind fireground support unit, complete with Bauer mobile SCBA filling station.

The new walk-in body features an interior kitchenette, two walk-in showers, and a lavatory with toilet and sink.
