  • The King's Fire Service Medal, introduced in 1954, is awarded to members of the fire services in the United Kingdom for distinguished service or gallantry. It was also formerly awarded by Commonwealth countries, most of which now have their own honours systems. Members of recognised fire brigades were eligible for the King's Police Medal from its creation in July 1909, with the award renamed the King's Police and Fire Services Medal in September 1940. In 1954 separate medals were established for the police and the Fire Service, with the Queen's Police Medal and the Queen's Fire Service Medal both instituted on 19 May 1954. Recipients from 1969 to 8 September 2022 may use the post-nominal letters “QFSM”. Recipients from 8 September 2022 may use the post-nominal letters "KFSM". The award has two categories. The most common is the King's Fire Service Medal for Distinguished Service. The equivalent medal for gallantry, the King's Fire Service Medal for Gallantry, can only be awarded posthumously and has, up to 2022, never been awarded, with members of the fire service also eligible for the George Cross, George Medal and the King's Gallantry Medal. There is provision for the forfeiture of the award in the event of a recipient later being convicted of a criminal offence. (en)
  • De Queen’s Fire Service medal wordt sinds 19 mei 1954 toegekend voor moed of bijzondere verdienste. De ronde zilveren medaille met op de keerzijde de inscriptie "For Courage" en het lint met de blauwe strepen wordt alleen postuum toegekend. De dragers mogen de letters QFSM achter hun naam dragen. De medaille voor verdienste wordt aan een rood met geel lint gedragen. De eerdere King's Medal for Police and Fire Service in 1902 werd ingesteld door koning Eduard VII van het Verenigd Koninkrijk. De koning eerde met deze medaille, oorspronkelijk "King's Police Medal" geheten, zowel bijzondere verdienste als moed van politiepersoneel en brandweerlieden. De niet erg toepasselijke naam werd later uitgebreid tot "King's Medal for Police and Fire Service". Toch was het ook een brandweermedaille. In 1954 werd opgehouden met het verlenen van de King's Medal for Police and Fire Service. Twee medailles, een voor de politie en een voor de brandweer kwamen ervoor in de plaats. * Queen’s Fire Service medal (QFSM) * Queen's Police Medal (QPM) De medailles van het Verenigd Koninkrijk werden overal in het Gemenebest, in de koloniën en mandaatgebieden gebruikt. Naarmate het Gemenebest minder hecht werd werden er in de dominions en in de andere landen meer eigen medailles ingesteld. (nl)
