The Best Firefighter Gifts
Firefighters risk their lives every day. Whether you are giving them a gift for a holiday, promotion, birthday or just to show your appreciation, a gift that recognizes their bravery and love of their job can be a good starting point. Gift items do not have to be what they can use on the job, but things they can use off duty as well. Does this Spark an idea?

Leather Helmet
-
Firefighters who have been on the job for some time will usually buy themselves a leather helmet. A leather helmet is a typical firefighter's helmet that has specialized leather stretched over the top portion and the brim. These types of helmets are expensive but are highly durable to use on the job. Ensure you get the right helmet size for your firefighter and contact the manufacturer to order the right color leather because fire departments vary on what color helmets they use.
Custom Helmet Shield or Radio Strap
-
A firefighter's helmet is like his second hand. Purchase a custom helmet shield (an identifying patch that is attached to the front of your firefighter's helmet) with your firefighter's department information or even flames. If your firefighter cannot have a custom shield on his helmet, purchase a customized radio strap (a strap that allows firefighters to carry their radios within their bunker gear at the scene of a fire) with his name, flames and other accessories.
