Design S1567A at a glance
A custom-cut patch framed in gold merrowing and built around a Maltese cross loaded with the fire-rescue toolkit: a helmet, hand tools, a Star of Life and a bell.

About this helmet, bell and Star of Life fire-rescue design
Fire-rescue stations answer more medical calls than fires, and this cross acknowledges both. The helmet, tools and bell speak to fire service heritage; the Star of Life marks the EMS side of the job. Gold merrowing around a custom-cut outline gives the patch a ceremonial finish, while the red, navy and white keep it firmly in duty-uniform territory.
Customize it before stitching: set your department and station in the lettering, change the motto, or rearrange the emblems inside the cross. 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 Star of Life patch questions
Can each of our stations get its own number?
Yes. The station line restitches for each house from one approved design, and every station version goes on one quote, priced at the combined count.
Can we remove the Star of Life if we don't run EMS?
Yes. We drop it and rebalance the helmet, tools and bell inside the cross, or put another emblem in its place.
Is the motto line required?
No. It can carry any short phrase or your founding year, or be removed so the cross sits larger.
What size suits a turnout-gear bag?
Four inches tall is the usual pick; it keeps the helmet, tools and bell distinct on a bag panel.
How do we mark up our edits?
In the quote form, the markup tool lets you circle any emblem, pin notes on each lettering line and switch colorways. The marked version is attached to your quote.
Want a different fire design, or the full catalog?
This page covers one combined fire and EMS cross. For engine company, volunteer and battalion layouts, the fire department patches that sit beside this helmet-and-bell Star of Life cross show every shape departments order.
