As a retired firefighter, I can say that it could have been a FD tie tack. We wore dress uniforms, with a tie.....Possibly a department specific item or an award. I believe this award began in 2006 (or so). It's been 14 years since it's inception, so who knows,
Cfmct may be right. Just putting a little spin on it....
