Meet the Volterra: Cary, N.C.’s First Electric Fire Truck!

The Town of Cary Fire Department made history recently when they officially put the Pierce Volterra electric pumper into service, the first of its kind on the East Coast.

The Volterra created a quieter, safer work environment, allowing firefighters to hear one another more clearly and focus during high-stakes moments.

This investment demonstrates SSDN member community Cary’s commitment to public safety and sustainability; proving that innovation can reduce emissions, lower costs, and strengthen resilience, all while keeping their community safe.
