About this fire district heart and helmet design
A heart is an unexpected outline for a fire patch, and that is the point: it signals care for the community as clearly as the tools signal capability. Inside, the layout is traditional, with a helmet, ladder, axes and nozzle stacked on a Maltese cross. Black, gold and red keep the palette serious, so the heart reads as heartfelt rather than whimsical.
Order it with your district name and motto, use it as a memorial patch with a name and dates, or switch the black field to red for a fundraiser run. 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 district heart patch questions
Can we use this heart as a memorial patch?
Yes. The lettering lines take a name, a badge number and dates, and we can add a black mourning band across the cross on your proof.
Is the heart shape appropriate on a uniform?
Many districts wear it on fundraiser and event uniforms rather than daily duty wear. For duty shirts, the same art moves onto a shield or round.
Can we order a pink version for awareness month?
Yes. Pink, purple or teal awareness colorways stitch from the same art, and they can share an order with the standard version.
Can the motto be changed?
Yes. The motto restitches to any wording, or it can be replaced with your station number.
How do we request design edits?
Circle elements on the heart and pin notes in the quote form markup tool, then submit. Your marked-up version goes along with the quote.
Looking for a district patch for daily duty wear?
A heart cut works best for events, memorials and fundraisers. The fire district designs beyond this helmet-on-cross heart include shields, rounds and crosses suited to everyday uniforms.
