Weathersfield committee approves temporary fire department patch for community bounce-house event
Summary
After reviewing multiple design options, the committee ruled out options C and D, did not approve Option B, and approved a temporary patch featuring a generic Maltese cross and 'Weathersfield Fire Department' for the bounce-house project; final production version to be approved by the department chiefs.
The Weathersfield Fire Department Committee reviewed proposed logo and patch designs and offered design guidance aimed at aligning department insignia with town branding while ensuring the patch remains identifiable as fire department insignia.
Committee members debated incorporating the town logo and adding fire-related symbols such as a Maltese Cross to distinguish the patch from police designs. Motions were made to rule out Option C and Option D; both motions passed. A motion to approve Option B was recorded as all nay and failed.
The committee then approved a temporary patch for a community bounce-house project: a generic Maltese cross with 'Weathersfield Fire Department' printed on it. The motion was made by Mr. Dauphin, seconded by Mr. White, and the vote was recorded as all in favor. The committee set a condition that the final version be approved by the two chiefs prior to production.
The decision addresses short-term needs for the upcoming community event while preserving the committee’s ability to continue work on a permanent, brand-consistent departmental patch.
