A firehouse is more than a building — it is a second home for the crews who live and work there. A bronze dedication plaque honors that, marking when the firehouse opened and the people who built and serve in it.
Placed in the entry or day room, it becomes part of the firehouse’s identity for every shift that follows.
Firehouse plaques usually feature the firehouse name and number, the dedication date, and the names of department and community leadership.
The Maltese cross, department patch, and a photo of the building are all reproduced in raised relief for a finished, traditional look.
A Firefighter’s Prayer is the verse most often requested for a firehouse dedication. Read at ceremonies, memorials, and academy graduations across the fire service, it is engraved here in raised bronze lettering beside a Maltese cross carrying the words Service, Valor, Honor, and Dedication.
When I am called to duty, God
Wherever flames may race,
Give me the strength to save some life
Whatever be its age.Help me embrace a little child
Before it is too late,
Or save some older person
From the horror of that fate.Enable me to be alert
And hear the weakest shout,
And quickly and efficiently
To put the fire out.I want to fill my calling
And to give the best in me,
To guard my every neighbor
And protect his property.And if according to our fate,
I have to lose my life,
Please bless with your protecting hand
My children and my mate.
The full verse fits comfortably on a plaque of roughly 18″ × 24″ or larger. Departments often pair it with the station name and dedication date, or hang it on its own in the day room or entry as a standing tribute to the crews who serve there.
We can set the prayer in the layout shown, center it under your department patch, or substitute traditional firehouse blessing wording of your choosing.
A photograph of the firehouse, the crew, or the apparatus that first rolled out of the bay can be reproduced directly on the plaque in raised, halftone-textured bronze relief.
Historic prints and modern digital files both work. We adjust contrast for metal, send you a proof, and include the photo engraving at no extra charge.
Firehouse dedication plaques start at $500, include emblems and photos at no extra charge, and are made in the USA with a three-week standard turnaround.
