  Fire and Rescue Service

  Fire and Rescue Service Insignia for sale

  Fire Brigade cap badges, rank markings, badges, uniform patches and shoulder slides available to buy.

  During World War 2, Fire Brigades were brought under central Government control (nationalised) in 1941 in order to be able to quickly share resources across the UK. From 1941-1948, all Fire Brigades in the UK wore the same design of NFS (National Fire Service) cap badge. In 1948, Fire Brigades returned to a regional structure under local authority control and adopted separate designs for the badges of each town and county Fire Service. In 1974 there was a major re-structure of UK counties and the names of many fire brigades changed as a result.

  Most of the badges on our catalogues are from UK town and county fire brigades and date from 1948 to the present day.
