Pierce Manufacturing is an Appleton, Wisconsin-based manufacturer of custom 
fire and rescue apparatus and a wholly owned subsidiary of Oshkosh Corporation. 
Pierce was acquired by Oshkosh in 1996 and is currently the largest fire 
apparatus company in the world. The company was founded in 1913 by Humphrey 
Pierce and his son Dudley as the "Pierce Auto Body Works Inc.", and concentrated 
on building custom truck bodies for the Ford Model T. From the 1960s to the 
early 1980s, Pierce was primarily known for building custom bodies on commercial 
and other manufacturer's custom chassis, and was considered an original 
equipment manufacturer (OEM).

There appear to be two versions of this flag - the one with the logo in 
chrome or grayscale as Esteban pointed out, and one with the logo in color as 
seen online at
