Be Prepared for Anything! Reverse Side features Fight Fire Skull Logo with four principles.

There are a few things I like to think that Black Helmet stands for. Principles of the fire service and the ways we achieve them. Tradition, Dedication, Courage, and Sacrifice. Each as important as the other, and also all inter-related. When we work hard, when we do the heavy lifting, when we fight fire, we fulfill these precepts. This is who we are. This is what Black Helmet represents.

The coin is 1 3/4 inches in a hard round case for protection with a white ring. The reverse side are the four principles, Dedication, Tradition, Courage and Sacrifice. Its a stunning coin in person featuring a translucent red enamel.

This tradition has been carried from the military into the Fire/EMS/Law enforcement arena. Black Helmet Apparel is proud to continue this tradition..... Especially since someone got me at the last FDIC!

Just as your helmet is not merely a piece of equipment, a challenge coin is not only a token but also a tangible source of pride for America’s soldiers, firefighters, police officers and EMS personnel at every level in the chain of command. Commanders use them as on-the-spot awards. Senior military leaders often dole out their coins as gifts to foreign dignitaries or civilian VIPs.
