Backcountry Fire Rescue Patch — Order This Ram & Compass Design
Design S0937A at a glance
A custom-cut patch with a silver edge, featuring a ram head with a compass and pine trees in red, silver, tan and green. The lettering carries a fire rescue name, a founding year, a task force line and a motto. The ram and compass make it a backcountry rescue emblem rather than a standard station patch — every line rewrites to your unit.

About this ram and compass rescue design
A ram stands for sure footing on difficult ground, and a compass for navigation — the two skills backcountry rescue depends on. Pine trees place it firmly in forest country. Red keeps the fire service connection, while tan, green and silver give it an outdoor character that fits technical rescue teams better than a traditional red-and-gold cross.
Customize the task force line for your team, add your department name, or swap the ram for a different mountain animal. 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.

Backcountry fire rescue patch questions
Can the ram be replaced with another animal?
Yes. An elk, mountain goat, bear or eagle can take its place, redrawn at no art charge.
Can we use this for a search and rescue team?
Yes. Change the task force line to your team name and it works for any search or technical rescue unit.
What backing works on packs?
Hook-side velcro is the most practical if your packs have loop panels. Sew-on works for packs without them.
