Fire Station Mascot Patch — Order This Dalmatian & Antique Engine Shield
Design S0649A at a glance
A maroon shield packed with firehouse tradition: an antique engine riding a maltese cross at center, a Dalmatian at its side, a hydrant and a lick of flame below, and a hose and axe worked into the cross. Lettering runs around the top and down a banner for the station name and its nickname, so the patch carries the house identity crews actually use. Gold edging holds the busy scene together.

About this Dalmatian and antique engine firehouse design
Station patches are where crews get to show personality, and this design leans into it — the nickname banner is built for whatever the firehouse calls itself, from a company moniker to a long-running inside joke. The maroon field keeps it distinct from the red-and-gold department patch on the shoulder, which is why crews order it for hoodies, T-shirts and patch trades with visiting companies.
Order it as shown or make it your house's: your station number and nickname in the banners, your founding year, or the Dalmatian swapped for the station dog or mascot drawn from a photo. 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 station mascot patch questions
Can the banner carry our station nickname?
Yes — that is what the banner is for. Send the exact nickname and station number and we stitch them in; your mockup shows the spacing before anything is produced.
Can you replace the Dalmatian with our station dog?
Yes. Send a photo of your station dog or a sketch of your mascot and we redraw it into the scene at no art charge.
Will this much detail hold up at small sizes?
It holds best at 4" and up. Below that we simplify the hose and flame so the engine and Dalmatian stay crisp — the proof shows the result at your chosen size.
Do crews order these for patch trades?
Often. Station patches are the most traded item between visiting companies, and a 10-piece minimum keeps a trade run affordable.
How do I request other changes?
Use the "mark up this design" tool in the quote form: circle the engine, pin numbered notes, switch colorways — your marked-up version attaches to the quote automatically.
Need the official department patch too?
Station mascot patches sit alongside official department insignia. The fire department patch layouts beyond the Dalmatian firehouse shield covers maltese crosses, rounds and rescue shields for the shoulder. Starting from a nickname sketch or your own station art? The patch ordering guide for turning a station nickname into stitched art is the quicker start.
