About this rope, carabiner and tools technical rescue design
Technical rescue teams work at height, below grade and inside collapsed structures, and their patch should show the gear that gets them there. Rope, carabiners and tools fill the center of this badge, and the cool palette of grey, navy and light blue sets it apart from the red-and-gold look of an engine company. The discipline lines tell other crews exactly what the team brings.
Adapt it to your team: set your team name in the top line, rewrite the discipline lines for trench, confined space or water, or add your department’s Maltese cross. 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.

Technical rescue patch questions
Can the discipline lines list trench or confined space?
Yes. Each line restitches to your disciplines — rope, trench, confined space, collapse or water — and the proof shows the layout.
Is there a helmet-size version?
Yes. At 2.5 inches we simplify the tools slightly so the rope and carabiners stay clear; PVC also works well on helmets.
Can we add our department’s Maltese cross?
Yes. We can place your cross behind the gear or above it, redrawn at no art charge.
Will light blue thread stay visible on navy uniforms?
Yes. Light blue and white contrast well on navy; the proof shows the exact colors before anything stitches.
How do we mark up our rescue badge edits?
Open the markup tool in the quote form, circle the rope or the carabiners, pin notes on each line and switch colorways. The marked badge attaches to your quote.
