About this paw print, Maltese cross and Star of Life diamond
Fire service canines usually work arson and accelerant detection, and they rarely get insignia of their own. This diamond fixes that by putting a paw print inside the Maltese cross, with a Star of Life for the department's EMS side. Yellow and navy are high-visibility colors that read at a fire scene, and the diamond outline stands apart from the department's main patch.
Order it as shown or customize it: put your team name and role in the two lines, drop the Star of Life for a fire-only version, or recolor the field in red and black. 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 department K9 patch questions
Can we remove the Star of Life?
Yes. A fire-only version drops the Star of Life and enlarges the paw print, at no art charge.
Is there a harness-size version for the dog?
Yes. A 3-inch velcro diamond fits most harness panels; add it to the same quote as the handler patches.
Can the lettering show our team's role?
Yes. Both lines restitch to your wording — team name, detection role or investigation unit — on the 4-hour mockup.
Is yellow required, or can we use department colors?
Any colors work. Red and black or navy and gold are common alternatives; preview them in the markup tool.
How do I mark up changes to the diamond?
Open the markup tool in the quote form, circle the paw, cross or star, pin numbered notes and pick a colorway. The marked-up diamond travels with your quote.
