About this monogram, axe and ladder rescue design
Monogram patches put the department's initial at the center of attention, something letterman jackets have done for a century and fire districts are rediscovering. The crossed axe and ladders around the letter keep the patch firmly in the fire service, and the star adds a note of distinction. A cool palette of navy, silver and royal blue keeps it crisp and modern.
Make it your own: swap the letter for your district's initial, put your district and unit names in the lettering, or change the service year, all 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 rescue monogram patch questions
Can the monogram be our district's initial?
Yes. Any letter, or a pair of letters, replaces the monogram at no art charge. Your 4-hour mockup shows the new initial with the axe and ladders around it.
Can we change the unit title to engine or truck?
Yes. All four lettering lines — district name, district type, unit and year — restitch to your wording.
Is a red version available for engine companies?
Yes. Red and gold or red and silver are popular swaps. Preview them in the markup tool and your quote references the version you picked.
Will the monogram stay readable on a helmet patch?
Yes. The letter is large enough to read at 2.5 inches; we may simplify the ladder rungs at that size on your proof.
How do I mark up changes?
Open the markup tool in the quote form, circle the letter, pin notes on the lettering lines and try other colorways. The marked-up version attaches to your quote.
