Description
It all started one day at fire station 89 in North Hollywood, California, sometime during 1989. Someone came into the station seeking information on how and where to purchase fire department uniforms and helmet shields for an upcoming movie. The problem was solved as far as the uniforms but it seems that the helmet shields presented another problem. A source was found but it was going to take eight weeks or more for delivery.
Sam Brown was working at 89’s and made a statement that he thought he could manufacture the shields within a week. An order was placed that day for 30 shields. Sam set out and found the leather, made the patterns, and proceeded to construct one shield for confirmation. When he delivered it he was told they didn’t want them because they had not gotten the contract to furnish the movie industry with the props they needed.
Now the big question-- what was he going to do with all that red leather? Sam had always wanted to have a shield from the eight stations he had worked for since coming on the department in 1963. This gave him the opportunity to do that.
