Non-uniformity
Topright missed a button. Love the watch chains.
Maltese Cross
Ah the good old days of firefighting, when the value of a man was measured by the size of his mustash mustache.
The hat badges are a Maltese Cross for firefighters -- a single horn for the lieutenant an two horns for the captain in the middle. We still use very similar rankings nowadays.
Uniformity
Nine coats button left to right, one right to left. Seven bow ties, three neckties. Eight of one hat badge, two of another.
Engine 15 Now
