Fire Critic An Unadulterated View of the Fire Service
Almost a year ago, Willie and I were introduced to “Brotherhood Chips”. Ok, that is what we dubbed them, they are actually ceramic poker chips made by TheChipSite.com and we held our first at the 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb in Greenbelt, Maryland last year. Read about that climb here.
Those chips would soon become the first of merchandise featuring both Willie’s IronFiremen.com and my FireCritic.com.
In Greenbelt, the event organizers had poker chips made for each climber. I thought the chips were awesome. When I realized the poker chips were a fraction of the price of metal challenge coins, I knew we had to have some made for us.
Fast forward a year later, we have handed out or sold 500 of our “Brotherhood Chips”. We are currently out of our chips and hoping to get more made soon.
The event organizers thought it was a great token for the participants at the Greenbelt climb. I think every climb should have them made. These things are collectors items. If you would like to get some chips made for your event, any event, or your department…contact them today. They are easy to work with!

TheChipSite.com has just recently unveiled its very own St. Florian Chip that compliments their Fire Service Chip very well. You can purchase one here.
