Fire Dept Flags are special flags that are used to honor and recognize firefighters, as well as civilians engaged in other types of public service or volunteer work. These kinds of flags are usually displayed at fire stations, firefighter memorials, and other public events, or at the homes of firefighters and their supporters. We offer custom firefighter flags in a wide variety of sizes, but the most popular size for these kind of flags is 3×5 feet. These flags can be constructed in the manner that is best suited to your needs and budget, but the most common way is to have them digitally printed on a high-quality, durable nylon material.
