About this winged Star of Life trefoil
Combination fire and EMS companies often struggle to find one patch that honors both missions. This trefoil answers that with lettering that names both sides, while the winged Star of Life keeps the medical role front and center. Blue, gold and red is a classic volunteer palette, and the scalloped three-lobe outline gives the design a heritage look without needing a full crest.
Customize it for your company: put your name and founding year in the lettering, swap the motto, or change the service-area line to your district. Buy it as shown for members and order a second run with an Auxiliary or Junior line for support members. 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.

Trefoil fire and EMS patch questions
Can we drop the Volunteer line for a career department?
Yes. Remove it or change it to Career, Combination or Rescue — every lettering field restitches to your wording, and the 4-hour mockup shows the result.
Can a Maltese cross be added behind the Star of Life?
Yes. We can set the winged Star of Life over a Maltese cross for companies that want the fire side shown in the emblem too. Mark the request in the markup tool.
Will the scalloped trefoil edge hold up on turnout gear?
Yes. The edge follows each lobe closely, and your proof shows which finish it gets; for heavy gear we recommend sew-on backing rather than iron-on.
Can we order member and auxiliary versions together?
Yes. Both wording versions go on one quote, price at the combined count and ship together.
How do I request changes?
Use the markup tool in the quote form — circle the star, pin notes on the lettering, switch colorways. The marked-up version goes with your quote.
