About this eagle, nozzle and speaking trumpet design
Before radios, fire officers shouted orders through a speaking trumpet, and it still marks rank on fire service insignia today. Pairing it with a nozzle puts command and the hose line in the same eagle's grip — leadership and the work itself. That balance suits volunteer companies that want one patch members can wear to drills, parades and funerals alike.
Order it with your company name, year and station number in the lettering, swap the slogan for your own, or switch to metallic gold thread on the trumpet for officers’ uniforms. 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 eagle patch questions
Can officers get versions with rank trumpets?
Yes. We can add crossed trumpets in the count that matches each rank and stitch them in metallic gold. Each version is shown on your proof.
Can the combined lettering line be split?
Yes. The company name, slogan and station number can sit on separate lines, and we rebalance the layout around the eagle.
Can the eagle hold different tools?
Yes. The nozzle and trumpet can be swapped for an axe, pike pole or hydrant wrench at no art charge.
What size suits a parade jacket back?
10 to 12 inches. The eagle and tools scale up from the same artwork with no redraw needed.
How are officer and member versions priced?
Together. Officer and member versions share one quote and one set of artwork, and the combined count sets the price tier.
