About this navy and gold engine company oval
Two-color patches are the hardest to get right and the easiest to wear: with only navy and gold, every element has to carry by shape alone. This oval does it with a fire engine at center, a hydrant, crossed tools and a water drop — the full volunteer story in four symbols. The station-and-engine-company line at the bottom means the same art can be ordered house by house, changing only that line.
Adapt it: put your company name on top, set your founding year and motto, number your station and engine, or redraw the engine as your own apparatus from a photo. 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.

Volunteer fire engine patch questions
Can the engine be redrawn as our own apparatus?
Yes. Send a photo of your engine or tanker and we redraw it stitch-ready at no art charge. The hydrant, tools and water drop stay around it on your proof.
Can each station get its own version?
Yes. Keep the art and change only the station and engine company line for each house. Your mockup shows each version, and they can all go on one quote.
Is two-color embroidery less detailed?
No. Navy and gold force a clean, high-contrast design, which keeps the engine, hydrant and tools crisp. You can add a third color for the water drop if you want it to stand out.

Five: company name, volunteer fire department line, established year, motto, and the station and engine company line. Each restitches to your wording.
