About this regional EMS forest and caduceus maltese cross
The maltese cross ties this service to its fire-rescue heritage, while the forest scene tells you where it works. Orange is the standout color: it reads at a distance on a scene, pairs naturally with green, and makes the patch feel built for rural and wildland-interface calls. Silver detail sharpens the caduceus against the navy.
Customize it for your region: put your regional and division names on the cross arms, change the motto words, or swap the forest for farmland or open range. 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.

Regional EMS maltese cross patch questions
Can the cross arms carry our regional and division names?
Yes. All six lettering elements restitch to your wording, and the proof shows how they sit on the arms before production.
Can we replace the forest with our own terrain?
Yes. Send a photo of your landscape or a landmark and we redraw it behind the caduceus at no art charge.
Is the edge hot-cut or merrowed?
Tight notches between the cross arms are hot-cut, which heat-seals the edge as it's cut so the tips stay crisp; gentler corners can be merrowed. Your proof shows the edge this cross will get before production.
Is orange a good choice for an EMS patch?
It is distinctive and reads well at a distance. If your uniform standard calls for red, swap it in the markup tool and compare.
How do I mark up changes?
Use the markup tool in the quote form to circle the forest, pin notes on the cross arms and switch colorways. We get the marked cross along with your quote details.
Exploring other EMS shapes or patch builds?
If the maltese cross isn't the shape your region uses, the EMS designs beyond this orange-and-green forest maltese cross cover shields, hexagons and rounds for every kind of service.
