The medals were established October 31, 1957 and were awarded to workers in the fire guard, members of voluntary fire fighting brigades, servicemen, and other citizens who display courage and bravery in extinguishing fires; in saving lives and for saving socialist or private property from fire; and in preventing explosions and fires. This medal was designed with the text on the obverse, but it was not uncommon for the recipient to alter the medal so that the more impressive design of a fire-fighter saving a child was always displayed. The metal composition changed over time. The medal is type 3 and made out of tombac. Approximately 32,000 were awarded.
