About this helmeted bear rescue squad shield
A bear is the right mascot for a rescue squad: strong, steady and at home in rough country. Putting it in a fire helmet with an axe in hand turns it from wildlife into a crew member, and the mountains behind it place the squad in the terrain it covers. The silver rope border is the finishing touch, giving the shield the look of a patch made to last for decades.
Order it as shown or tailor it: set your squad name and number in the lettering, change the helmet color to match your rank, or redraw the mountains as your own skyline. 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.

Bear rescue squad patch questions
Can the squad name and number be changed?
Yes. The squad name, rescue squad line and number all restitch to your wording, and the mockup shows the result before production.
Can the bear carry a different tool?
Yes. Swap the axe for a halligan, a pike pole or a hydraulic spreader, or put your squad number on the helmet front — redrawn at no art charge.
What is a rope border?
A twisted-cord edge stitched around the shield instead of a flat merrowed wrap. It gives the patch a heritage, dress-uniform look.
Will the mountains stay visible at a small size?
At 3.5 inches and up, yes. Below that we simplify the ridgelines on your proof so the bear stays the focus.
How do I mark up changes to the bear?
Use the markup tool in the quote form — circle the bear, pin notes on the lettering and test colorways. The marked design is attached to your quote.
