From the Internet...
""In early 1938 the "Reichsjugendführung"and the "Reichsführer-SS und Chef der Deutschen Polizei im Reichsministerium des Innern" met to discuss utilizing Hitler Youth personnel as volunteers in a Fire Defense Service.
As a result of that meeting, the first HJ volunteer Fire Defense Service units were established at Celle and Osnabrück later that year.
Regulations of June 30TH, 1939, dictated that these volunteer units were to be subordinate to the "HJ-Streifendienst", and be grouped with the "Feuerlöschdienstreserve" (Fire-fighting-service-reserve).
In March of 1941 a distinctive sleeve badge was introduced for those who had passed the Fire Service test, which was then worn on the left forearm of the khaki-brown HJ Fire Fighting tunic.""

Also a little update. There are these unissued ones on E-stand.... 2 of them! Looks more purple but it could just be the lighting. The used and issued looking one has the traits of a repro but has soiling that would make me fall for it!
