“Pierce Manufacturing, Inc., North America’s largest fire and emergency apparatus manufacturer, honored firefighters with a donation of artwork auctioned for nearly $10,000 to benefit the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation. The paintings were created during the Fire Department Instructors Conference (FDIC) in Indianapolis by live-art painter Michael Israel who created two original paintings in the Pierce booth, in front of hundreds of spectators.
“Pierce took the opportunity at FDIC this year to commemorate and honor the men and women of the fire service,” said Wilson Jones, Pierce Manufacturing president. “Michael’s artwork is a tribute to their courage, and with the donation through the auction, we’re proud to help advance the work of the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation, and to also thank and support this community.”
