Design S1727A at a glance

About this flaming tiger rescue shield
Most fire patches lean on helmets and crosses; this one leads with attitude. The roaring tiger gives a specialized rescue team a mascot with real presence, the grille below grounds it in the apparatus the crew rides, and the pine tree quietly signals rural country. Five thread colors make it one of the busier shields we stitch, so we keep the flame edges crisp on every proof.
Customize it for your crew: change the tiger to another animal your team identifies with, put your rig number on the grille, or swap the pine for terrain that matches your district. 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.

Rural fire rescue tiger patch questions
Can the tiger become a different animal?
Yes. A bear, wolf, eagle or any team mascot can replace the tiger, redrawn into the same flames at no art charge and shown on your proof.
Can our apparatus number go on the grille?
Yes. The grille has room for an engine, rescue or squad number stitched in white or silver, and it appears on your 4-hour mockup.
Will five colors look busy at sleeve size?
Not at 4 inches. Below 3.5 inches we simplify the flame layers on the proof so the tiger stays the focus, and you approve the result first.
Can we drop the pine tree?
Yes. Remove it, or swap in terrain that fits your district, such as rolling hills or farmland, without changing the rest of the layout.
Do you make a matching back patch?
Yes. Add a 10- or 12-inch version to the same quote; the tiger, flames and grille all scale from one artwork.
Need a different fire department design?
A flaming tiger is one approach to rescue insignia. The fire department designs ranging from tiger mascots to classic helmet crosses show the other shapes and emblems we embroider. For build styles, backings and volume pricing, the patch guide covering a five-color tiger shield from quote to delivery answers the practical questions.
