All of our apparatus has at least 1 IAFF sticker on them. Las Vegas has the apparatus ordered with a custom gold leaf IAFF emblem already on them. Just put one on and see if anyone notices. Many of us have them and other stickers on our helmets too.

We have them. Don't know how long the department has had them on the apparatus, but it was way before my time.

We have them on our rigs with the Chiefs and fire boards approval. We can wear them on our helmets as long as they are the reflective ones. The only caveat is that if our helmet is taken out of service or replaced the dept won't replace the sticker, that's up to the individual.
It helps that our Chief is a past IAFF local Prez and the 2 Deputy Chiefs are past VPs of our local.

Yes, the City allows them both on our apparatus and helmets; some of us even sew our Local 2424 patch on the lower back of our PPE trousers just below the suspenders.

We use to be able to have IAFF on engine and gear but our city manager made us take them off becuase he was having a problem with the union. I see know reason that we should be able to. Most people don't even know what it is.

We're a combination dept., so the commissioners (several of them vollies) won't allow decals on the apparatus. We used to be allowed to put a decal on the underside of our helmets, lost that 2 contracts ago (although we are now allowed to wear a pin on our dress uniforms, which are hardly used). Several of us have decals on our radio straps, haven't heard any complaints from above or vollies (yet).

We have them on our Apparatus and our helmets. Since we are Federal and no a closed shop, it is interesting to note that we are given the opportunity to do this. All our department members are encouraged to join, but they do not have to. They benefit from all we do, and we will go to bat for them if they have issues, but under Federal Guidlines we cannot be a closed shop.
