Jersey Fire Brigade came into being in 1948 after the Fire Service Reforms Act of 1947 handing back regional fire control from The National Fire Service ( N.F.S ) to county& county borough authorities ! Jersey was an independant sta te & its not clear when they started issueing the normal home office star cap badge, a variety has been seen which we have in our possession that is a generic wreath style fire brigade cap badge with a Jersey crest on it & we are unsure if this was the wartime or post war 1st pattern.

Nevertheless this Jersey States Fire Brigade cap badge has been manufactured by The London Button & Badge Company & shows the flat back fully pressed home office star & the welded enamel centrepiece which falls in the late 1960's period when The London Button & Badge Company was formed. 

A fine period cap badge from the Jersey States Fire Brigade & in good used condition
