History


The Fire Fighter Merit Medal, 1928 was instituted by the State Ministry of Oldenburg and was conferred upon firefighters to recognise long and faithful service. It was also awarded to firefighters who had distinguished themselves through their outstanding contributions to the fire service.

Firemen who filled managerial positions would receive the award after 15 years of service, and other firefighters received the medal after 25 years of service.
