Fire and Rescue Skyline Patch — Order This Hands-and-Flame Star Design
Design S1233A at a glance
A star-shaped patch with a navy edge, where a pair of hands holds up a flame bearing a single letter in front of a city skyline. Tan, navy, red and orange carry the scene, and the lettering names the department, the unit and a two-word motto. The image of hands holding a flame reads as care rather than combat, which suits departments that want to emphasize community.

About this hands, flame and skyline star
Star-shaped fire patches are uncommon, and this one uses the outline to frame a quiet, human image: two hands holding a flame in front of the city they serve. The letter on the flame stands in for the department's initial, the skyline places the crew in an urban setting, and warm red and orange against tan and navy give it a glow. It's a patch that talks about purpose as much as about trade.
Customize it for your department: replace the letter with your own initial, redraw the skyline as your city's, or put your department and unit names in the lettering, at no art charge. 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 and rescue skyline patch questions
Can the skyline be redrawn as our city?
Yes. Send a photo of your skyline and we redraw it behind the hands and flame at no art charge.
Can the letter on the flame be our initial?
Yes. Any letter or pair of letters works. Your 4-hour mockup shows the new initial in place.
Can the motto line carry our wording?
Yes. Department name, unit title and motto all restitch to your exact text, or the motto can be dropped.
Will the hands and flame stay clear on a helmet patch?
At 2.5 inches we simplify the skyline and finger detail on your proof so the stitching stays clean, and you approve it first.
How do I request changes?
Use the markup tool in the quote form to circle the skyline, pin numbered notes and switch colorways. Your marked-up design rides along with the quote.
