About this rescue squad phoenix and life ring design
Rescue squads cover a wide brief, from vehicle extrication to swift water, and this design leans into the water side with a life ring at its base. The phoenix above it adds the idea of pulling people back from the brink. The coffin silhouette is a bold, slightly irreverent cut that rescue crews tend to love, and navy with gold keeps it from tipping into novelty.
Letter it with your squad name and founding year, swap the life ring for an extrication tool if water work is not your focus, or change the phoenix colors to match your apparatus. 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.

Rescue squad phoenix patch questions
Can our squad name and founding year go on the patch?
Yes. All three lettering lines restitch to your wording, and the year can show a founding date or an anniversary span.
Is the coffin shape appropriate for a rescue squad?
Many rescue and fire crews choose it for its bold, traditional look. If it does not fit your department standard, the same art moves onto a shield or round.
Can we replace the life ring with other rescue tools?
Yes. Hydraulic spreaders, a rope bag or a boat silhouette all fit the space below the phoenix, redrawn at no art charge.
Which material is best for water rescue gear?
PVC, because it will not absorb water. Embroidered versions are best for shirts and jackets, and both can share one quote.
How quickly can a new squad get patches?
Your free mockup lands within 4 hours, and rush production takes 7 to 10 days after approval — so a new squad can be patched in about two weeks.
Looking for more rescue and fire company patches?
This coffin is built for a rescue squad with water work in its brief. The fire department designs beyond this phoenix-and-life-ring coffin include station rounds, Maltese crosses and specialty unit shields for the rest of the department.
