About this fire engine and Star of Life Maltese design
Most fire districts now run as much EMS as fire, and their crews want a patch that says so. This design puts both on one crest: a Maltese cross with an engine and nozzle at its heart, and a Star of Life flanking it alongside the hydrant, ladder and hook. Royal blue and red split the difference between fire red and EMS blue.
Make it your district's: put your name and founding year on the lettering, change the medics line to Fire Rescue or Paramedics, or swap the hydrant for a helmet. 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 medic patch questions
Can the engine be replaced with an ambulance?
Yes. An ambulance, rescue truck or your own engine can sit inside the Maltese cross, redrawn from a photo at no art charge.
Can the medics line say Paramedics or Fire Rescue?
Yes. All four lettering lines restitch to your wording, including the medics line, the fire callout and your founding year.
Is this too detailed for small sizes?
At 4 inches the tools and Star of Life stitch cleanly. For caps we simplify the hook and ladder slightly, and show you the result on your proof first.
Do you make an EMS-only version?
Yes. Drop the hydrant, ladder and hook and enlarge the Star of Life for an EMS crew version that matches the fire patch.
What backing works on EMS jackets?
Sew-on is the most secure for outer shells; hook-side velcro works if your jackets have loop panels.
Comparing other fire and EMS designs?
