Fire Protection District Patch — Order This Quartered Shield Round
Design S0653A at a glance
A gold-ringed round with a red maltese cross carrying a quartered shield: a pine in one quarter, a river in another, crossed axes and a fire truck in the last two. The district name arcs across the top in gold on black, with a motto band and a first-responders line closing the circle. The quartering lets one patch tell the story of the whole district.

About this quartered shield district round
Fire protection districts cover more ground than a single city department, and this design reflects that with a heraldic quartering — landscape on one side, firefighting on the other. Districts that formed from merged volunteer companies often use the four panels to honor each original company, and the round format keeps the long district name readable all the way around.
Order it as shown or make each quarter yours: a local landmark, your founding company's emblem, a different apparatus, or the district's original volunteer insignia redrawn from an old patch. 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 protection district patch questions
Can each quarter show something from our district?
Yes — that is the point of the quartering. Send photos or descriptions of four symbols and we redraw them stitch-ready at no art charge.
Will our long district name fit?
Usually yes; the full ring holds long names well. Very long names move the motto inside the cross.
Can we make an anniversary version?
Yes — add the anniversary years to the motto band or a bottom rocker; many districts order a limited run alongside the standard patch.
What size keeps the detail readable?
4" and up. Smaller sizes simplify each quarter to a single bold symbol, which your proof will show.
How do I request other changes?
Use the "mark up this design" tool in the quote form: circle a quarter, pin numbered notes, switch colorways — your marked-up version attaches to the quote automatically.
Need a cross, shield or station patch instead?
A quartered round is one district format. The fire department patch cuts beyond the quartered district round covers maltese crosses, shields and station patches. Bringing your own district art or comparing builds? The patch ordering guide for filling a four-quarter shield with district symbols is the faster start.
