A Brief History of Firefighter Challenge Coins

Custom Challenge Coins are an "August" way to honor law enforcement officers and other public officials. This include brave firefighters who are continually risking their lives to keep other’s property and lives in safety. But you might be pleasantly surprised by this distinguished and interesting history of firefighting. From the beginning we mentioned "August", and that is actually where firefighting started! Namely, the first ever organized Roman fire brigade of which we have any substantial history began in ancient Rome while under the rule of Augustus. In 6 A.D. after a catastrophic fire in Rome, the first organized fire fighting force was established by Augustus Caesar, known as the Vigiles. With 7,190 members, the Corp of Vigiles has gradually become one of the most powerful and respected elite organizations in the Roman Empire. As known, the fire service is a direct result of the Vigiles. However, Firefighting remained rudimentary in scope for a long time afterwards without any improvement. It wasn't until 1673 that Dutch inventor Jan Van der Heyden developed the first fire hose. And in the United States at the time, the first fire company came into service in Boston. Benjamin Franklin established the Union Fire Company in Philadelphia next year. There was a kind and heroic volunteer firefighter called George Washington in Alexandria, he even bought a new fire engine and gave it free to the town. However, it wouldn’t be until the Civil War when fire departments became universal nationwide and fully received money and mentoring support from the local, state, and federal governments. That’s all the stately history of firefighting. But certainly enough to consider when realizing the importance of firefighters, especially when honored them with custom challenge coins.
