About this engine and hose hexagon design
Old volunteer companies are proud of their apparatus and of how long they've been running, and this hexagon puts both up front: an engine across the maltese cross, a hose emblem for the water, and room for a founding year with real age to it. The six-sided shield is rare on fire insignia, which helps a small company's patch stand out at musters and parades.
Customize it before ordering: set your district name and founding year in the lettering, change the motto, or redraw the engine from a photo of your own 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.

Rural fire company patch questions
Can the lettering show our district and founding year?
Yes. District name, founding year, motto and company line all restitch to your wording, set in the proof before production.
Can the engine match our own apparatus?
Yes. Send a side-on photo of your engine and we redraw it across the cross at no art charge.
Why a hexagon instead of a round?
It stands out — six flat sides are rare on fire insignia. If your uniform standard calls for a round or shield, the same art moves onto either.
Can we get a jacket-back size for musters?
Yes. Order shoulder and 10-inch back sizes in one quote; the proof shows both.
How do I send our edits?
Use the markup tool in the quote form: circle the engine or hose, pin notes on lettering and test colors. Your markup attaches to the quote.
