Fire Rescue Octagon Patch — Order This Helmet, Oak Leaf and Ladder Design
Design S1721A at a glance
A fire helmet set over oak leaves, with a hook and a ladder, anchors this eight-sided patch, finished with a navy merrowed edge. Four lettering fields hold a place name, a fire and rescue line, a founding year and a two-word motto. Navy, gold and silver keep it formal, like a set of officer's collar brass translated into thread.

About this helmet and oak leaf fire rescue octagon
Oak leaves stand for strength and endurance, and setting a fire helmet above them puts the crew at the center of that idea. The hook and ladder bring in truck-company work, so the emblem covers both firefighting and rescue. The octagon outline and three-color navy, gold and silver palette give it a dress-uniform polish that still looks right on a station shirt.
Customize it for your department: put your name, year and motto in the lettering, add a station number to the helmet front, or order the oak leaves in metallic gold for honor guard uniforms. 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.
