VIGILES BRIGADE -- 2000 YEARS OF TRADITION
VIGILES BRIGADE, is named for the VIGILES, the first fire service founded in Rome in 6 A. D. Emperor Augustus formed the VIGILES to protect Rome from the ravages of fire. Serving in this esteemed organization was so respected, that it became one of the most elite and prestigious leagues in the entire Roman Empire. Fire Departments/Brigades as we know them today are a direct result of the paramilitary structure and operating systems they developed. This ancient organization, as is today’s service, was innovative, developing specialized firefighting tools, pumps and procedures, but their hallmark was the dedicated and heroic firefighters.
VIGILES BRIGADE -- THE TRADITION CONTINUES
The same level of respect continues today as firefighters are regarded as venerated protectors of life and property. As a firefighter, you, your family members and supporters have earned the right to wear the VIGILES BRIGADE mark. The mark, a fire bucket and the grasping hands, symbolize the tradition and common denominators and fellowship between all firefighters worldwide.
As you wear a high quality official VIGILES BRIGADE marked T or Sweat Shirt you will not only exhibit the pride, honor and unity that it represents, you will also be providing support for firefighters in developing nations.
VIGILES BRIGADE -- A TRADITION TO BE SHARED
VIGILES Brigade’s mission is to assist fire fighting and prevention in developing nations. Many of our fellow firefighters are forced to use equipment that is not much better than the VIGILES used over 2000 years ago. A percentage of all profits from the sale of VIGILES BRIGADE apparel is earmarked for fire prevention, fire fighting and life safety efforts in developing nations.
