Fire Brigade Badges
The Fire Brigade of Japan has an almost endless variety of badges. Each local branch
commissions its own version, so it would be quite difficult to have a complete collection. In
addition, these badges are still being awarded today, so that makes for a lot of years of badges.
Most often these were awarded for long service, but some are merit badges. It is hard to know the
date of production, but generally speaking the heavier badges are pre-WW2. The thick pebbled
silver badges also tend to be pre-WW2.
