Fire department cuff button

On the top reads “fire” on the bottom “department”
Can’t make out the backmark looks like “bros” on it near the end.

Does anyone know the time period?

Well I found out I found it on the position of the 17th NY Infantry.

Composed of NY City Fire Zouves, it's a vest button and not a cuff button.

Looks like a visor hat button. Can you show us the back?
