Wildland Fire Bear Patch — Order This Rising Sun and Pines Design
Design S1516A at a glance
A custom-cut patch with a black merrowed edge, centered on a roaring bear set before a rising sun and a stand of pines, with crossed axes beneath. Four lettering fields cover the agency name, a wildland unit line, a motto and a founding year. Green, brown, white and yellow give it the forest-and-fireline palette wildland crews actually wear.

About this wildland bear and sunrise design
Wildland crews rarely want the red-and-gold look of a structure company, and this piece shows why: the greens, browns and yellow come straight from the fireline, and the roaring bear gives it attitude without leaning on a cartoon. The rising sun behind the pines suggests the early starts and long shifts of fire season. Crossed axes ground the whole scene in hand-tool work.
Adapt it to your crew: restitch the unit line to Hand Crew, Engine Module or Helitack, change the motto, or trade the bear for a cougar or wolf drawn from your own reference. 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.

Wildland fire bear patch questions
Can the bear be swapped for another animal?
Yes. A cougar, wolf, eagle or your crew mascot can replace it, redrawn from a photo or sketch at no art charge. The proof shows the new animal in the scene.
Can we change the unit line to our crew type?
Yes. Hand Crew, Engine Module, Helitack or any short callout fits the unit line, and the motto and year lines reword too.
Is there a version with fewer colors for fireline use?
Yes. A tan-and-brown subdued build keeps the bear, sun and pines readable in fewer thread colors. Preview it in the markup tool before quoting.
What size should we order for packs?
3 to 3.5 inches with velcro backing fits most line packs. Sleeve patches usually run 4 to 4.5 inches.
How do I request changes?
Mark them up in the quote form: circle the animal, pin notes on the lettering and switch colorways. Your markup is attached to the quote automatically.
