Badge pinning is a proud tradition within Fire Departments, signifying the introduction of department members to their new duties or newly hired positions. It includes a swearing-in of each person who received a promotion or newly hired position since the last pinning ceremony and firefighters select a special person to pin the badge on their uniform.
