About this fire helmet mountain rescue star
Rural rescue units cover a lot of ground, and this star shows it: a fire helmet set above mountains with a river winding through. There is no Star of Life here, which suits services whose identity is rescue first with medical care alongside. The star cut gives the patch a badge-like silhouette, and red and white against navy make the helmet the first thing anyone sees.
Customize it for your crew: your unit name and service area in the lettering, a Star of Life added if you run ALS or BLS transport, or the river redrawn as a lake or canyon. 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.

Mountain rescue EMS patch questions
Can we add a Star of Life to this design?
Yes. We can place one on the helmet front or beside it, and your proof shows the balance before production.
Can the river become a lake or canyon?
Yes. Describe or photograph your terrain and we redraw the landscape under the helmet at no art charge.
Will the star points hold with a merrowed edge?
Yes. The points are softened just enough for the merrowed wrap to follow them, which keeps the outline durable through washing.
Can the lettering name our coverage area?
Yes. All three lines restitch to your wording — unit name, mission line and service area.
How do I send changes?
Use the markup tool in the quote form: circle the helmet, pin notes on the terrain and lettering, and try other colors. The marked-up star attaches to your quote.
