The four volunteer fire departments in Plum Borough all adhere to this format so that we can operate together successfully. As a rule of thumb, all the officers have white “shields” on the front of their helmets, no matter their helmet color, to help further standout for command purposes.

(White Shield on front of helmet with rank & station number, 236)
YELLLOW HELMET: Fire Captain and the Fire Lieutenant(s)
(White Shield on front of helmet with rank & station number, 236)
BLUE HELMET: Medical Officer & Assistant Medical Officer
(White Shield on front of helmet with rank & station number, 236)
RED OR BLACK HELMET: Firefighter and/or Engineer
(Black Shield on front of helmet with “Engineer” & station number, 236 for Interior Firefighters)
(Black Shield on front of helmet with “Firefighter” & station number, 236 for Interior Firefighters)
