The North Maine Fire District has a new decal which is being added to their apparatus. It replicates a challenge coin that they created several years ago and incorporates the new black and gold colors on Engine 1.

The North Maine Fire District page has a new link to a separate page showing their decal and several patches. Click on the Company Patches link at the top of the North Maine Fire District page.

Chicago Fire Department patch update

The last batch of new patches has been added to the 4th District listings in Chicago. This is the third of many updates to come with patches from the collection of Alexander Alexandrovski. In some cases, companies have more than one patch. Engine 117 and Tower 14 share a house and each has their own patch plus there is an additional patch featuring both companies. Since it is too much to show on the page with the apparatus photos, there is a new link at the top of the patch entitled ‘company patches’ that will take you another page where all of the patches are shown.
