The Importance of ID Cards for Fire Departments

ID cards for fire departments can be extremely important for identifying firefighters and emergency responders, and for controlling access to fire stations efficiently with smart cards or proximity cards. In emergency situations, identification cards and accountability tags can help those at the scene quickly recognize firefighters and other emergency personnel.
Fire department ID cards can contain several elements, including security features and personal information. A majority of fire ID badges will contain the cardholder’s photo, name, signature, and department. Graphics such as a state seal and a department patch logo are also commonly used. In some cases, to prevent counterfeiting, holographic overlay, watermarking or ghost imaging may be used.
