APPLETON, Wis. (AP) -- Two days after Oshkosh Corp. scored a billion-dollar defense contract, one of its subsidiaries has landed its own $10 million military contract.
Pierce Manufacturing of Appleton said Thursday the U.S. Navy has ordered 29 special fire trucks. That follows a separate order for two Pierce hazardous-material vehicles. The total contract is worth $10.3 million.
The fire trucks are equipped with remote-controlled nozzles, foam systems and 750-gallon tanks.
Pierce makes a range of fire trucks, from those used in large cities to others suited for fighting fires in forests and other rough terrain.
The contract follows a Pentagon contract awarded to parent company Oshkosh on Tuesday for more than 2,200 mine-resistant all-terrain trucks.
