Technical Rescue Team Patch — Order This Tree and Caduceus Round
Design S1488A at a glance
A gold-merrowed round with a shield at its center, where a tree and a caduceus rise over a bed of flames. The lettering carries the department name with fire and EMS wording, an established-year split, a motto line and the technical rescue team callout. Gold, black and red give it a classic fire-service palette while the caduceus marks the medical side of the job.

About this tree and caduceus technical rescue design
Technical rescue teams sit between fire suppression and emergency medicine, and this round captures that overlap in one shield: flames for the fire side, a caduceus for patient care, and a tree that roots the department in its community. The gold merrowed edge and black field give the emblem a formal finish that works on Class A shirts as well as on rescue jackets.
Make it your department's: restitch the name and established year, change the team line to rope, confined space or swiftwater rescue, or put a Star of Life in place of the caduceus. 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 team patch questions
Can the team line name our rescue specialty?
Yes. The technical rescue callout restitches to rope rescue, confined space, trench, swiftwater or any specialty you run, and the mockup shows it set on the ring.
Can we swap the caduceus for a Star of Life?
Yes. Many EMS-side teams prefer the Star of Life. We redraw it into the shield over the flames at no art charge, and the proof shows the change before anything is stitched.
Is the established year required?
No. The split year line can carry a station number or an EMS designation, or be dropped entirely, and the ring rebalances so the lettering stays centered.
Which backing suits rescue harnesses and jackets?
Hook-side velcro mates with loop panels on most rescue jackets and harness pads. Sew-on stays the standard for station shirts, and you can split one order between the two.
How do we mark up changes to this design?
Open the markup tool in the quote form, circle the tree or caduceus, pin notes on the lettering, and switch colorways. The marked-up version rides along with your quote.
