Custom Lapel Pins & Custom Coins

The Indianapolis Fire Department recently celebrated their 150th anniversary and we were fortunate enough to be asked to make custom lapel pins and custom coins for the important occasion. The history of the Indianapolis Fire Department actually dates back to the 1820s when they only had one volunteer department. In those days, they had to use church bells for alarms and only had ladders and leather buckets to fight fires.

150 years later and there are over 1,000 firefighters and 38 fire stations in Indianapolis. They don’t use old fashioned leather buckets anymore to put out fires. In fact, for their 150th anniversary they had their own anniversary website, www.ifd150.com, and even a Facebook page.

How times have changed. Some people may think lapel pins and custom coins are old fashioned, but not the high-tech Indianapolis Fire Department. They trusted custom made lapel pin and challenge coin manufacturer Recognition Services to provide recognition lapel pins and custom challenge coins for the very important anniversary. Happy 150th Indianapolis Fire Department! Thanks for putting out those fires and keeping us safe.
