The fire department badge pinning ceremony has been a long-standing tradition in the fire service for many years. It is a recognition for either joining a department or a promotion to a higher rank. I.e., (Firefighter to Engineer or Engineer to Captain).  The Sealy Fire Department celebrated the promotion of three of their own.  Surrounded by their families and co-workers, the three firefighters celebrated important milestones.  During Austin County Emergency Services District No. 2’s first badge pinning ceremony Captain Kevin Kramr, Captain Eric Ordner and Firefighter Devin Kern were promoted.
