Design S1707A at a glance
A rampant lion wearing a fire helmet takes center stage on this scalloped round, joined by crossed axes, a flame and a torch inside a gold merrowed edge. Three lettering fields hold the service name, a founding year and a two-word motto. Red, gold and charcoal give it a heraldic weight that suits ceremonial and everyday wear alike.

About this helmeted rampant lion fire round
The rampant lion is one of heraldry's oldest charges, and putting it in a fire helmet turns a coat of arms into a fire service emblem. Crossed axes, a flame and a torch fill out the symbolism of tools, danger and guidance. The scalloped outline is uncommon on fire patches, and the red, gold and charcoal palette gives the whole round a formal, old-world feel.
Order it as shown, or adapt it: put your service name and year in the lettering, give the helmet front your station number, or replace the torch with a second tool your crews carry. 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.

Rampant lion fire patch questions
Can the lion's helmet carry our station number?
Yes. The helmet front has room for a station or company number in gold or white thread, and it appears on your 4-hour mockup.
Can we swap the lion for another animal?
Yes. An eagle, bear, dragon or the animal from your own crest can replace the lion. We redraw it in the same helmeted pose at no art charge.
Is the scalloped edge harder to produce?
No. A merrowed border follows the scallops cleanly, and the price is the same as a standard round of the same size.
What size keeps the lion's detail?
4 inches and larger keeps the mane, claws and helmet distinct. For smaller sizes we simplify the detail on the proof for your approval.
Can we change the motto?
Yes. The motto line restitches to any short phrase, or it can be removed and the year line enlarged.
