Fireman Weathervane

 Detail

Our new Fireman Weathervane was commissioned by a couple whose son recently graduated from Firefighter’s School. They sent us a photo of him and we literally turned it into a portrait weathervane of their son as a Fireman! We even gave him translucent green glass eyes and included an eagle crest on the top of his fire helmet!

While this weathervane can be made entirely in copper, they opted for the optional gold leaf to add a nice contrast to the copper weathervane. It will look spectacular as it weathers. Distinct tooling gives the clothing and fire hydrant a realistic appearance. We also included a “lucky” penny from the year he was born as well as the name of the fire company for whom he works

In addition to the Fire Fighter weathervane, they also ordered one of our American Flag Weathervanes. One weathervane will go atop their home on a new cupola and the other weathervane will be displayed on a cupola above their garage.

Firefighting in the United States is becoming more of a profession than it once was. Historically, especially in smaller departments, little formal training of firefighters was required. Now, most states require both career and volunteer firefighters to complete a certificate program at a fire academy. Associate's, bachelor's and master's degree programs in firefighting disciplines are available at colleges and universities. Such advanced training is becoming a de facto prerequisite for command in larger departments. The U.S. Fire Administration operates the National Fire Academy, which also provides specialized firefighter training.
