About this fire bell and laurel compass star
Before radios and sirens, a bell called volunteers to the station, and it remains the clearest symbol of a company that answers when summoned. Wrapping it in laurel adds honor, and the hose and nozzle bring it back to the work itself. Cut as a compass star with two blues and two metals, the patch looks more like a commemorative medal than a standard sleeve round.
Make it your company's: put your name and founding year in the lettering, swap the motto for your own, or order it with metallic gold thread for an anniversary or banquet run. 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.

Volunteer fire company bell patch questions
Can you redraw the bell to match our company's bell?
Yes. Send a photo of your bell and we redraw its shape and mounting inside the laurel wreath at no art charge. The proof shows it before anything stitches.
Can we add our company number to the star?
Yes. A company or station number can go on the bell or in the lettering. We place it on your mockup so you can approve the position.
Is this design good for an anniversary banquet?
Yes. Many companies order it with metallic gold thread and an anniversary year line for banquets, life members and awards.
Do the star points need a different edge?
Broad points take a merrowed edge well. If you want sharper points, we can hot-cut the outline at the same price.
Can auxiliary members get a matching version?
Yes. Add an auxiliary or junior version with its own lettering to the same quote; both share the artwork and backing options.
