RCN Fire cap badge
This cap badge is a puzzlement to me. if it is pre 1968 what type of cap was it worn on? an officer cap maybe??. and if post 1968, would it not be a try service badge?

RCN Fire Badge
Perhaps it was worn on the uniform and not as a cap badge?

Were they civilian firefighters?

Ron,
The RCN Firefighters wore a black peaked cap similar to that worn by PO1's & CPO's. They also had shoulder flashes NAVAL FIRE SERVICE in red lettering (or something very similar as I recall) on their black battledress tunics. Phil, RCN Firefighters were civilians.

There were also the RCAF Fire Service and the Army Fire Service. (These were attributed to UK, but they are Cdn.)

For a time the RCASC handled the duties in the army. But, and I am not clear on this, at some time post war civilians were contracted for some if not all firefighting services.
I am not sure about the RCAF, excpet the approval for the shoulder titles were all considered at the same time. I would suspect that the situation was similar for the RCAF.
