An eight-sided patch edged in gold merrow, showing a fire engine spraying water in front of a suspension bridge. Two lettering lines carry the fire district name and a motto.

About this fire engine and suspension bridge octagon
When a district's biggest landmark is a bridge, it belongs on the patch. This octagon puts a working engine in the foreground with water spraying, and a suspension bridge behind — a scene that tells everyone the district covers both the town and the river crossing. The eight-sided outline gives the scene more width than a Maltese cross allows.
Make it your district's: redraw the bridge as your own span, harbor or skyline, update the engine to match your apparatus, and put your district name and motto on the lettering lines. 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.

Octagon fire district patch questions
Can you redraw the bridge to match ours?
Yes. Send a photo of your bridge and we redraw it — towers, cables and deck — at no art charge. You approve the redraw on your proof.
Can the engine match our apparatus?
Yes. A side photo of your engine or ladder truck is enough for us to redraw body color, striping and unit number.
Why choose an octagon over a Maltese cross?
An octagon gives a wide scene like this one more room. You can still add a small Maltese cross to the design if you want the traditional symbol.
Can the motto line be reworded?
Yes. Both lettering lines restitch to your district name and motto, and we can add a founding year if you like.
What size works for jacket backs?
Ten to twelve inches is standard. The bridge cables and water spray scale up cleanly from the same artwork.
Comparing other fire district layouts?
