There are hundreds of different brigade patches as well as issued patches
from the N.S.W. FIRE DEPARTMENTS, each with a specific pattern or difference which takes us over the 100 years of the
N.S.W. Rural fire service history. There are so many reasons why someone would consider collecting patches of an
organization he or she believes in. By building an informative web site, I hope to get these may different
patch varietys out to a larger audience of people interested in patch trading, to find out their history and try to
find out what it means for those volunteers who have worn them over the last 100+ years.
With any stroke of luck i'm hoping that my interested audience has
what i dont have and can assist me in putting together an extensive collection of badges and patches to put on show at
certain events locally and at a district level that myself or my brigade, Narara, attend so we can
generate a healthier image and respect for the service in which we serve.
