Peter Pirsch founded Pirsch and Sons, Incorporated, a Kenosha, Wisconsin based manufacturer of fire apparatus. Pirsch was very successful from the 1920s through the 1980s. The Memphis, Tennessee Fire Department and the Washington DC Fire Department were both particularly loyal customers of Pirsch fire trucks. Throughout the 1930s and 1940s a wide range of fire engines, including articulated ladder trucks were made, with power coming mostly from Hercules or Waukesha engines. All these had their engines under hoods, and the first cab forward model came in 1961 with a flat-fronted cab which is still used today. Conventionals and cab­-forwards were made through the 1960s with little change, and Pirsch were also offering their specialties on other chassis such as Ford and Mack CF. Very few conven­tionals were made after 1970, and current production centers on rigid and articulated cab-forward units, mostly with diesel engines. Pirsch and Sons discontinued production of their trucks in the early 1980's after reorganization of the company, with the last truck coming off the line in 1987.
