Design S1588A at a glance
A badge-shaped cut edged in navy merrowing, with a Maltese cross at its heart carrying a fire helmet, firefighting tools and hydrants.

About this quint and medics badge design
A quint does five jobs from one rig — pump, tank, hose, aerial and ground ladders — and companies that run one alongside a medic crew want a patch that says so. This badge puts that combined crew on the lettering line and keeps the emblem traditional: a Maltese cross carrying a helmet, tools and hydrants. Red, gold, navy and white keep it bold enough to read across an apparatus bay.
Make it yours before it stitches: put your department name across the top, change the apparatus number and medic wording, swap the three-word motto, or update the established year. 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 quint patch quick facts
- Embroidered fire department quint patches cost $3.00–$20.00 each depending on quantity, with a 10-patch minimum.
- Rush production takes 7–10 days and is available on every custom patch.
- A badge-shaped outline gives the unit line its own panel, so an apparatus number stays legible at 3.5".
- Combined engine-and-medic companies often order one art twice: red for station wear, navy for medic polos.
- Hydrants and tools stitch as separate shapes from 3.5" up; smaller badges merge them on the proof for clean edges.

Who orders this design
Fire departments running quints, combined engine-truck companies and fire-based medic crews order this badge for station shirts, polos and company jackets.

Fire department quint patch questions
Can the unit line name a different apparatus?
Yes. The quint and medic wording restitches to any company — engine, truck, rescue or ambulance — and the number changes per order. Each version gets its own proof.
Can we remove the medic wording for a suppression-only crew?
Yes. Drop any part of the unit line and the badge rebalances on your proof so the lettering stays centered.
Will the hydrants and tools stay distinct?
From about 3.5 inches tall they stitch as separate shapes. On smaller patches the proof simplifies the tools slightly, and you approve it before production.
Can the established year change?
Yes. The year, motto and department name are all editable lettering elements — type your wording into the quote form or mark it on the design.
What's the fastest way to show our edits?
Use the markup tool in the quote form: circle the unit line, pin a note with your apparatus number and switch colors. The marked-up badge travels with your quote.
Need another fire company layout?
One quint badge won't suit every house. The fire department patch range beyond this quint-and-medics helmet badge covers engine, ladder, rescue and volunteer designs in every shape we cut.
