Station Coins

Station 9's Coin and a message from Goodo. If you have a photo of #1's coin send it in. Correct me if I am wrong, but these are considered Challenge coins aren't they.

Here is the picture of our Station 9 coin. Its the building when it opened with the old doors and no office addition. Since they are shutting it down soon we thought we should get on it now. Hopefully the other stations will see this and we can get everyone doing it. The one side is already on 1 and 9's coins. Bradbury and I hoped everyone would use the same City logo side and put there station design on the back. I would love to get 1 from every station.

Our coins are solid brass, and the cost is quickly recovered. They can call me or Bradbury and we can get them more information, or hook them up with our contact.

Thanks for putting them out there, maybe we can have a little tradition of our own started.

All station coins must be approved by the office of the chief before being allowed on city property to include city fire houses.

Respect my authori-ti!

WHY does station #9's coin have the date 1907 on it? what does this stand for ?? the station was built in 1929.. let me guess, Wines is behind this!

The coin probably has that date on it because the Roanoke Fire Department was completed when it went fully paid in 1907 and the last of the volunteers disbanded.

That's right Rhett, 1907 for the dept going fully paid. 1929 is engraved on the other side with the station.
