I completed a total of nine fire hose flags over the past two months. Two went to individual firefighters, the black framed one for the Minnesota State Fire Department Association (MSFDA) and six were made for Maple Grove Fire Department.
I served a little over 20 years on my local volunteer fire department and 12 years on the MSFDA board with two terms as president. The flag was given away to an attendee at the recent MSFDA annual conference.
Maple Grove FD recently celebrated 50 years as a department. One flag will go to each of their five stations and one will hang at headquarters. I inlayed a wooden disc with my info in each flag :)
