About this fire engine and rising sun hexagon
Rural departments often draw water from lakes, ponds and rivers, and this patch tells that story: an engine in front of a rising sun, with waves and hoses that point to drafting and tanker work. The navy, red and blue palette keeps the water present, gold adds warmth to the sunrise, and the hexagon gives the scene a compact, modern frame.
Order it as shown or adapt it: set your department name and founding year in the lettering, redraw the engine as your own tanker or brush truck, or drop the waves if your district draws from hydrants. 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.

Rural fire hexagon patch questions
Can the engine be redrawn as our tanker?
Yes. Send a side photo and we redraw your tanker, brush truck or engine in front of the sunrise at no art charge.
Can the department line and year be changed?
Yes. The department name, rural fire department line and established year all restitch to your wording.
Will the scene hold up on a small patch?
At 3.5 inches and up the engine, sun and waves stay distinct. Smaller proofs simplify the wave lines so the stitching stays clean.
Can we remove the waves?
Yes. Mark them in the markup tool and the proof will show the engine and sunrise without the water.
How do I send changes?
Open the markup tool in the quote form, circle elements, pin notes and switch colorways. The marked-up design attaches to your quote.
