Pierce Snozzle
Pierce high-reach extendable turret designed to add elevated attack capability with compact geometry, direct mounting, and multiple agent options.
Elevated Waterway System
The Pierce Snozzle is presented as a compact elevated waterway and turret package that increases response versatility without consuming the space footprint associated with larger aerial systems. Pierce emphasizes its direct-mount installation, compact pedestal, short-wheelbase compatibility, wireless remote operation, and ability to work both above and below grade with water, piercing, lighting, thermal, and optional dry chemical capability.
