Do you display your countries flag on your fire apparatus or uniforms?
It's not uncommon to see American flags on fire apparatus.
On uniforms...
or even stickers, patches and badges.
Question 1 • Is the USA flag something that your department includes on your uniform and/or fire apparatus?
Question 2 • If you are not from the USA, does your department displays their countries flags the same as we do in the USA?

If you don't have a flag patch on your uniform then you have a flag pin or something that represents the flag on your uniform to show your prond of your country.

We only do flags on our apparatus during special events and holidays, because they tend to get dirty and torn relatively quickly and IMHO it is disrespectful to treat the flag that way. As for uniforms we do have a flag patch on our uniforms and some of our bunkers have a patch as well.

Our 3 engines, the rescue and our tower all have a flag on them. Our uniforms have the flag patch on them as well. I added the American flag triangles that go around the top of my helmet.

My dept does have flag decals on apparatus. We had a pumper back in the 70s that had a waving American Flag painted on the front of the cab. We had some depts paint the whole unit like the flag.

We have small flags on the bumper guides of 2 pumpers. We don't have them on our uniforms, unless you count our ID tags. Each member/employee's picture is taken with the National Colors as the backdrop.

We no longer fly the flag from our apparatus because they get too ratty looking too quickly. We do however have the U.S. flag on the tight sleeve of our uniforms (except the polo shirts).
