Marking the Opening of a New Station

A new fire station represents years of planning, funding, and construction. A bronze dedication plaque marks the opening and credits the officials, donors, and crews who made it a reality.

Mounted at the entrance, it greets visitors and reminds every crew of the day their new station opened its bay doors.

What to Include on a New Station Plaque

New station plaques typically list the station name and number, the opening or dedication date, and the names of the chief, board, and civic leaders involved.

Adding the architect, contractor, or funding source recognizes everyone who contributed to the project.


Plan Your Dedication Ceremony

Set the date early and work backwards: names confirmed about six weeks out, artwork approved a month out, plaque delivered and hung the week before, then draped until the unveiling.

Ribbon-cuttings, an open house with the bay doors up, and a short reading before the plaque is uncovered are the format most departments use. We include mounting hardware and ship in a protective crate so nothing is left to the morning of the event.

A Firefighter’s Prayer in Bronze

New stations often get a second, smaller plaque for the day room carrying A Firefighter’s Prayer. This stanza is the one crews point to:

I want to fill my calling
And to give the best in me,
To guard my every neighbor
And protect his property.

Author Unknown

The full verse works well at 18″ × 24″ or larger, engraved beside the Maltese cross. See the complete prayer plaque.


From Groundbreaking to Ribbon-Cutting

Some departments order two pieces — a groundbreaking plaque and a dedication plaque — to document the full arc of the project.

We plan production around your ceremony date and offer rush options if the schedule tightens.

New fire station dedication plaques start at $500, include the department emblem at no extra charge, and are made in the USA.
