Ritchey ID has a long association with UK fire and rescue services. Due to the high volume of tags required, some emergency services opt to buy printers, as well as tags from Ritchey ID. This allows them the flexibility of being able to print their own tags.
Ritchey ID tags have been particularly useful to the emergency services in cases where equipment from several stations has been used collectively on a major callout. ID tags can be colour coded or marked with the station of origin, which ensures the correct return of fire hoses etc.
