About this engine and flames fire rescue shield
Apparatus patches are a matter of pride for engine companies, and this shield puts the rig front and center, set among flames instead of parked in front of a station. Keeping the palette to red, gold and orange gives the piece a single warm tone, so the engine silhouette carries the design. A dedicated department-number field makes it easy to issue one version per house.
Adapt it to your department: change the name and motto, set your company or department number, or redraw the engine to match 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.

Fire rescue engine patch questions
Can you redraw the engine to match our apparatus?
Yes. Send a side photo of your engine and we redraw it with your cab style and body layout at no art charge. Your proof shows it among the flames.
Can each station get its own number?
Yes. The department-number field changes per version, and several versions can go on one quote sharing the same artwork.
Can we add more contrast to the lettering?
Yes. Black or white lettering stands out against the red, gold and orange. Try both in the markup tool before quoting.
What size for a duty jacket back?
10 to 12 inches. The engine and flames scale up from the same art without a redraw.
How do I request changes?
Use the markup tool in the quote form: circle the engine, pin notes on the lettering and switch colorways. The marked-up design attaches to your quote.
