I have an Imperial fire axe with two presentation plates on it. One says "Ihrem Verehrten Zugfuhrer"and the second one says "Die Freiwillige Feuerwehr Z.22.Februar 1914" Thank you Paul

You have a very nice axe. Thanks for showing it.
"Their admired Train Leader". The Zugfuhrer is the one that drives the train. So, Train Engineer or Engineer.
"The volunteer fire-brigade Z.22 Februar 1914".
Hope this helps and hopefully someone might have a better translation.

Zugführer is Train Engineer or Engineer.
But this one here is military
Zugführer----Platoonleader
a fire brigade platoon leader is the commander of two fire fighting groups
