Top Ten Christmas Gifts For Firefighters (2015 Edition)

Each year, I set out to create a list of firefighting gifts for firefighters. Consider this a decent start to shopping for that special firefighter in your life. If you are a firefighter, you might just share this with your friends and family. The list varies from year to year, and yes there are plenty of other great gifts out there. Take the time to check it out and share it with your friends! Enjoy

Iron Fox Axe Pickhead Fire Axe10. Personal Firefighting Axe

Your firefighter should have plenty of tools at their disposal while riding on their apparatus. What they may not have to use is one of these axes that have been created in the past several years. Whether you are looking for The PIG, The PIGLET (smaller version of The PIG), or an Iron Fox Axe, they will be happy with your decision.

The PIG is more of a cool looking sledge hammer with a pick end on it. The PIGLET is similar, but the tool actually has some curve to the top of it and is only available in 28″ lengths.

The Iron Fox Axe is a variant of the axe with a newer styled cutting edge. All three of them are offered in high grade steel and will last a lifetime.

fire critic shirt light olive square9. Fire Critic T-Shirt

The official Fire Critic shirt is available exclusively through EngineCoApparel.com. While saying this is a top 10 gift might be a stretch compared to the other items on this list, this one is near and dear to my heart for obvious reasons. FireCritic.com has been around since 2009.

The shirt is printed on a comfortable fitted t-shirt and available in olive or blue.

Soon, maybe by Christmas, the official Fire Critic coin will also be in stock. Also available is the Fire Critic hat. This has been a very popular hat!

IMG_13185. Challenge Coin Case

If your firefighter has been in the fire service for any length of time, your firefighter probably has begun a collection of challenge coins.

Whether they have 5 coins or 100 coins, they should have a nice display case to show them off. The case to the right holds just over 100 coins and takes up very little room.

This coin case is a great way to show off their coin collection!

The case to the right is the one that hangs in my office.
