Fire Service History & Tradition

The Fire Service is rich in tradition and history. Even in our day-to-day operations we preserve some of these time honored traditions. Often, the public is unaware of the significance carried by some things they see almost every time they see a firefighter. This page talks about some of the traditions that are upheld throughout the Fire Service in the United States.
