Mark is a Captain with the Whiteville, NC Fire Department but he is also the owner / operator of Carolina Fire Shields. He’s my kind of guy…. straight up, open, honest, to the point and no BS.

I needed two custom shields (fronts) for my firefighters. I had reached out to a few of my friends in the shield business but like so many of you probably also often find …. the waiting line was long.

I had been seeing some of Mark’s work around Face Book and decided to give him a try. Man was I glad I did!

Mark told me EXACTLY what he could do, WHEN he could do it by, then he FOLLOWED TROUGH!

Both Gabe (Sheldon) and Jerry needed new helmets because their’s were out of date. The Department issued them but the shields (fronts) just didn’t seem to fit.

Of course nothing at “Lucky #13” is run of the mill so we had t do something different.

I told the boys that I would get them each a new custom front (they deserve MUCH more than that from me) and Jerry came up with the design.

He said, “you know…. if we could get the American Flag pictured waving inside the number 13, that would be AWESOME”.

There’s no automated or assembly line work here. Each shield is custom designed, made and finished by Mark himself. Made by a Firefighter, for Firefighters.

I explained the design over the phone and he NAILED IT!

If you’re looking for a Custom Leather Shield (front) for ANY reason … to wear on the job, Decorative, Parade, Presentation, Company / Department shields etc, give Carolina Fire Shields a look…. HE WILL NOT DISAPPOINT.
