About this palm frond maltese rescue shield
Maroon is an unusual field color for fire insignia, and paired with a silver-and-gold rope edge it reads as ceremonial — more dress uniform than station tee. Palm fronds place the department in warm, dry country, and the maltese cross with helmet, axes and inner shield keeps it unmistakably fire service. Three thread colors keep a detailed emblem clean.
Customize it before you order: set your department, station and special operations lines in the lettering, change the founding year, or swap the palm fronds for oak leaves or laurel if they don't fit your region. 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 shield patch questions
Can all six lettering lines carry our wording?
Yes. Department name, fire and rescue line, station number, founding year, special operations line and motto all restitch — and the proof shows each placed.
Can we get a plain-edge version for everyday wear?
Yes. The same art runs with a standard merrowed edge — quote both and the proof shows the rope and plain versions side by side.
Our region has no palm trees — can that change?
Yes. Mark the fronds and we redraw oak leaves, laurel or your local foliage at no art charge.
Is maroon the only field color?
No. Red, navy and black fields all stitch from this art; try them in the markup tool and the quote references your pick.
How do I send edits for this design?
Use the markup tool in the quote form — circle the fronds or tools, pin notes on any line and try other colors. Your markup attaches to the quote automatically.
