🚨 New Look, Same Proud Tradition 🚨

We’re excited to unveil a new alternate logo inspired by the original St. John’s Fire District emblem from the 1960s! The logo was used on official department paperwork. This design pays tribute to our department’s deep roots and the generations of firefighters who’ve served before us. It also reflects the beautiful waterways that surround us.

While this vintage-inspired logo will be used on select apparel and gear, the official STJFD logo remains our primary insignia and will continue to be worn proudly on the chest of every uniform.

Honoring our past. Serving in the present. Protecting the future. 🔥👨‍🚒🚒
