Fire Rescue EMS Patch — Order This Gold-Edged Seal Cross Design
Design S0751A at a glance
Gold thread frames this custom-cut patch, where a Maltese cross rests on a US flag and a state seal sits at the crossing point. Lettering fields carry the department name, fire and EMS lines and a rescue department title. The gold edge lifts the design toward dress-uniform territory without losing its duty-patch function.

About this gold-edged flag cross rescue design
Gold changes the temperature of a patch. The same cross-over-flag composition that looks workmanlike in navy turns ceremonial with a gold border, which is why rescue departments with active honor guards tend to pick it. The flag and seal still do the identification work; the gold signals tradition and pride in the house.
Order it with your department name and rescue title, swap the state seal for your own, or keep the gold edge for officers and build a navy-edged twin for line crews from the same art. This page shows a design concept we manufacture to order — your stitch-ready proof arrives 6–12 hours after you order, and nothing is produced until you approve it.

Fire rescue EMS patch questions
Can we order a navy-edged version for line crews?
Yes. The same art builds with a navy edge, and both versions can go on one quote so officers and crews match everywhere except the border.
Is metallic gold thread durable on duty uniforms?
It is a little less abrasion-resistant than flat thread, so many departments use metallic on dress patches and flat gold on duty patches. At arm's length they look nearly identical.
Can our seal replace the state seal?
Yes. Send a PDF or photo and we redraw it stitch-ready at no art charge; the proof shows it centered on the cross.
Can the rescue line read rescue squad or paramedic?
Yes. Every lettering field restitches to your exact wording.
How fast can we have these for a promotion ceremony?
The mockup arrives within 4 hours and rush production takes 7–10 days from approval, so a ceremony a month out is comfortable.
Need something for the rest of the house?
A gold-edged cross is the ceremonial end of the fire range. The fire department designs beyond the gold-edged flag cross cover engine, ladder and wildland assignments.
