I.A.F.F. stickers on apparatus

Around the coffee table, our shift was discussing how nice it was to have I.A.F.F. stickers on our apparatus and helmets. How many have or know of other fire departments that allow I.A.F.F. stickers on their apparatus or helmets?

Howard County, Maryland, Local 2000 is allowed to place IAFF stickers on County-owned apparatus. Logo is also allowed on various uniform items.

About 5 years ago we approached the Chief on allowing stickers on helmets and rigs. After discussing the importance of a good labor / management relationship and the positive message it would sent to the troops the chief agreed. Now an IAFF Sticker is one of the first things to go on a rig!

We were told take them off of our truck by the town administration. As you can guess, it didn't sit very well with the Brothers. They took a small clipboard and put a union decal on the back of it. It now rides on the front dash for all to see. There's more than one way to skin a cat.

You won't see that on either of my departments. The city fathers made it abundantly clear that all apparatus is property of the city, not of the firefighters union. Some of the guys have the 2" IAFF decals on their helmet, though it is not officially approved.
