On location when several departments converge onto one situation, there is a lead that has the responsibility of tracking each individual who is there to assist in the dangerous situation or emergency. Many smaller fire departments have had to use driver's licenses or another form of identification that did not clearly specify the training or origin of the fireman.

For years FullIdentity has been producing ID cards for just such volunteer and paid fire departments. From adding the local's logo or city government insignia, to creating full color coded ID cards based on the training of each individual for quick identification of how to use everyone on the scene. Many of the common things we have seen on these Fire Department badges are items such as the following:

Many fire departments have ended up purchasing two id cards for each volunteer so that one can be left at the firehouse or assigned truck, and another to be carried in their wallet in case they are sent straight to the scene.

One of the good things about using the services of FullIdentity is that when a badge is lost or another volunteer or employee joins the department, it's simple for the department to order new badges for the rookie.
