Default Unusual Fire Service badge

This is the badge on the cap of the man whose rank insignia I posted earlier. Does anyone know what this is ... IFPA of Great Britain ?

Don't know what it is, but there's a lapel badge to the organisation on evil bay.

Could be - I was wondering if it was something along the lines of "International Prevention of Fire Association" or "Agency" or similar.
I reckon you may have it.

Wreath colour reflects rank. There is one with no wreath too.

Sally Bosley interprets this as Industrial Fire Protection Association of Great Britain ... now the industrial bit would fit in with the paperwork which came with this cap ... all to do with fire prevention in factories and nuclear facilities .

It is the Industrial Fire Protection Association. I'm sorry I don't know what their rank structure is or which rank would wear each badge.
