Description
This embroidered patch features the Dallas Fire Department insignia, the shoulder patch carrying the DFD monogram of Dallas Fire-Rescue, the fire and rescue department serving Dallas, Texas. It is a half-round, dome-shaped patch on a navy blue twill ground with a gold border, with DALLAS arched across the top, FIRE DEPT. along the base, and a small red Maltese cross at the center.
Shape & Base: The patch is a half-round dome – a rounded arch across the top and a flat bottom edge – on a navy blue twill ground, finished with a bright gold border all the way around. The deep navy field gives strong contrast to the gold lettering and border, a clean and traditional shoulder-patch shape.
Top Section: DALLAS arches across the upper part of the patch in large gold block letters, curving with the rounded top edge and anchoring the design as the city name.
Center: At the middle of the patch sits a small red Maltese cross outlined in gold, the traditional fire-service cross. Across its center is a white interlocking DFD monogram – the initials of the Dallas Fire Department – worked in clean white thread against the red cross.
Bottom Section: FIRE DEPT. runs across the lower patch in large gold block letters along the flat base, balancing the DALLAS lettering above and naming the department.
Embroidery Quality: Full-coverage stitching with high stitch density holds the fine detail of the red Maltese cross, the white interlocking DFD monogram, the gold border, and the arched DALLAS and FIRE DEPT. lettering with sharp, even edges and a durable surface that stands up to daily uniform wear and laundering.
This is one of a series of fire department patches in the gallery.

🛡 Authorized Purchase & Credential Verification
Patches bearing a real agency or department name are sold only to that agency or its authorized representatives. Law enforcement and public-safety buyers must provide proof of occupation, valid credentials, or an authorized purchasing letter before production begins. We do not sell agency-named patches for personal use.
Custom and fictional designs — for example, a made-up department like “Town of Western Hope Police” — are welcome, as are designs where you change the agency or department name to your own.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is shown on the Dallas Fire Department patch?
The patch is a half-round, dome-shaped navy patch with a gold border. DALLAS arches across the top and FIRE DEPT. runs across the flat bottom, both in gold block letters. At the center is a small red Maltese cross outlined in gold, carrying a white interlocking DFD monogram - the initials of the Dallas Fire Department. Owl Badges reproduces it as an embroidered shoulder patch.
What does the DFD monogram on the cross mean?
DFD stands for the Dallas Fire Department, now known as Dallas Fire-Rescue. The three letters are worked as an interlocking white monogram across the center of the small red Maltese cross, the traditional symbol of the fire service. We reproduce the interlocking letters and the cross in detailed stitching so the monogram stays crisp at patch size.
How is the Dallas patch different from the Houston Fire Department patch?
Both are Texas fire patches with a Maltese cross, but they look very different. The Dallas patch is a simple navy half-round dome with gold DALLAS and FIRE DEPT. lettering and a small red cross with a DFD monogram. The Houston patch is a navy peaked shield packed with the Texas flag, a skyline, and a large Maltese cross bearing EMS and hazard symbols. We reproduce each city's design exactly as its own patch.
Is this the current Dallas Fire-Rescue patch?
This design reflects the classic Dallas Fire Department shoulder patch with the DFD monogram cross. Departments sometimes use more than one patch or update the design over time, so we reproduce the version shown and can also match any current variation you supply. Send us your reference art and we will match it exactly.
Can you make a custom fire patch with a monogram cross like this?
Yes. A navy dome patch with arched city lettering and a small Maltese cross carrying a department monogram is a clean, classic fire-service layout, and we can adapt it for your own department - your city name, your initials or monogram, your cross color, and your border. A free proof is provided before production so you can confirm every detail.
Do I need credentials to order a patch with the Dallas Fire Department name on it?
Yes. Patches bearing a real agency name such as the Dallas Fire Department are sold only to that agency or its authorized representatives. Fire-service and public-safety buyers provide proof of occupation, valid credentials, or an authorized purchasing letter before production begins. Custom or fictional department designs, and patches renamed to your own department, are welcome without that step.
