High Angle Rope Rescue Patch — Order This Crossed Axes and Coiled Rope Badge
Design S1537A at a glance
A badge-cut patch with a grey merrowed edge, built around a pair of crossed axes laid over a coiled rope, with a compass star set behind them. Green, white and grey keep the palette cool and technical. Four lettering elements frame the art — a department name, a founding-year line, a fire-rescue line and a unit tab — so the patch identifies both the department and the specialty crew.

About this crossed axes and coiled rope rescue badge
Rope work is what separates a high angle team from the rest of the roster, and this design puts the rope front and center: a full coil under the crossed axes, with a compass star behind it for navigation and direction. The green-and-grey palette is unusual for fire insignia, which helps a technical rescue crew stand apart from engine and truck patches on the same apparatus floor.
Order it as shown or customize it for your team: put your department name across the top, change the unit tab for a confined space or trench crew, or swap the green for traditional red if the patch needs to match station uniforms. 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.

High angle rope rescue patch questions
Can the unit tab say rope rescue or technical rescue instead?
Yes. The unit tab restitches to any wording — technical rescue, rope team, heavy rescue — and the department name and founding year change the same way. Your 4-hour mockup shows the exact text.
Will the coiled rope stay detailed at small sizes?
At 3.5" and up the coil shows each turn. Below that we simplify it to fewer loops so the stitching stays clean, and the proof shows the result before you approve.
Can we order a PVC version for rope bags?
Yes. The same art converts to PVC, which holds up to rope abrasion, rain and mud. Quote both builds together and the mockups arrive side by side.
Is the green palette fixed?
No. Green, white and grey is the design as shown, but the markup tool lets you preview red, black or a subdued tan version before you order.
How do I mark up changes to this badge?
Use the markup tool in the quote form: circle the axes or rope, pin numbered notes, and try colorways. The marked-up badge attaches to your quote automatically.
