Village Fire Department Patch — Order This Engine and Bell Shield
Design S0791A at a glance
A navy shield with a gold border, built around a fire engine with a sunburst and a bell. Red and gold bring the engine forward, and three lettering fields hold the village name, a fire and rescue line and a short community motto. The bell and sunburst give it a hometown feel, which is why small municipal departments order this layout.

About this fire engine, bell and sunburst shield
The fire bell predates the siren, and pairing it with an engine and a sunburst gives this shield the feel of a village firehouse that's been answering calls for generations. Navy keeps it official, red and gold keep it unmistakably fire service, and only three lettering fields mean the engine stays the hero of the design.
Order it as shown or tailor it: put your village or town in the top field, keep or rename the fire and rescue line, change the motto, or redraw the engine to match your own apparatus. 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.
