Mountain Fire Department Patch — Order This Engine and Sun Shield
Design S0795A at a glance
A red shield with a gold border, showing a fire engine with mountains and a sun in red, gold and tan. Four lettering lines frame the scene — department name, founding year, a three-word motto and a battalion line — so the patch can name both the department and the district it covers. The engine redraws to match your own apparatus from a photo.

About this fire engine and mountain sun shield
Departments that cover hill country often want their terrain on the patch, and this design builds the whole scene in three warm tones — red, gold and tan — so the engine, mountains and sun read as one landscape. The tight palette gives the shield a vintage station-poster feel while keeping the embroidery crisp, and the gold border ties the scene to the lettering at the edge.
Reword the department name, battalion line and motto to yours, set your own founding year, and send a photo of your engine so we redraw the apparatus to match. The peaks can be reshaped to your local skyline too. 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.

Who orders this design
Fire departments covering foothill and mountain districts order this shield for station uniforms and crew jackets, often with each battalion reworded on the lower line. Anniversary committees pick it for founding-year commemoratives because the year line is already built in. Most orders run sew-on, with a few iron-on patches for caps.

Mountain fire department patch questions
Can you redraw the engine to look like our apparatus?
Yes. Send a side photo of your engine or ladder and we redraw it in the same position at no art charge — the proof shows your rig before production.
Can the mountains match our local peaks?
Yes. A skyline photo is enough for us to reshape the mountain line. The sun stays where it is unless you ask us to move it.
Can we change the motto and founding year?
Yes. Every lettering line restitches to your wording, including the year and the motto line.
What size works best for a scene this detailed?
4 to 4.5 inches tall on the shoulder. For cap patches we simplify the mountains slightly on proof so the engine stays clear.
How do I request design changes?
Circle the engine, pin notes on the lettering and upload your apparatus photo in the markup tool inside the quote form. Everything attaches to your quote.
