Honor a lifetime of bravery and service with this handmade retired firefighter wood-burned sign. Featuring the powerful words “I survived because the fire inside me burned brighter than the fire around me,” it captures the courage, strength, and heart that define every firefighter. Each 8"x10" sign is hand-burned on natural birch wood using the traditional art of pyrography, then stained and framed to create a bold, rustic finish that lasts a lifetime.
 
Every piece is unique — the natural grain of the birch adds character, while the deep, permanent burn marks ensure the design will never fade or peel. Whether it’s a retirement gift, a tribute piece for a firehouse, or a keepsake for a proud firefighter’s home, this sign is made to be cherished. Strong, meaningful, and handcrafted in Alberta, this retired firefighter sign stands as a lasting reminder of the fire that continues to burn within every hero who served.
