Commemorating a New Fire Truck

Putting a new engine, ladder, or tanker into service is a major investment and a milestone for any department. A bronze apparatus plaque marks the day it entered service and honors the community support that funded it.

Departments often unveil the plaque at a push-in or wet-down ceremony, the traditional welcome for a new piece of apparatus.

What to Include on an Apparatus Plaque

Apparatus plaques commonly show the engine or unit number, the in-service date, the manufacturer and model, and the department name and crest.

Memorial dedications — naming a truck in honor of a fallen firefighter or longtime member — are a meaningful addition that many departments choose.


Mounting on the Apparatus or in the Bay

Smaller cast plaques can be mounted directly in the cab or on the apparatus body, while a larger display works on the bay wall above where the truck is housed.

Cast bronze and clear-coated aluminum both stand up to the heat, vibration, and washing that come with apparatus life.

Fire truck dedication plaques start at $400, include the department logo at no extra charge, and are made in the USA with rush options available.
