Fire, rescue & EMS uniforms
Custom Fire Department & EMS Patches
Department patches built to survive heat, wash cycles, and the job. Shoulder emblems, shield patches, and unit designations for turnout gear, station wear, and dress uniforms. Minimum order is 25 patches, same as every patch type we make.
A fire department or EMS patch carries more weight than a typical uniform emblem. It marks which station or unit someone belongs to, shows up at mutual aid calls where crews from different departments work side by side, and has to survive heat, water, and repeated washing without falling apart.
We manufacture fire and EMS patches in-house alongside our embroidered, PVC, and woven product lines, with the same 25-patch minimum and free digital proof before production starts.
Built to handle the job, not just look good on a hanger
Low 25-patch minimum
Volunteer departments and single-station crews can order without a bulk commitment.
Velcro backing available
Turnout gear and duty jackets often need patches that move between shirts, coats, and vests without re-sewing.
8 to 10 day turnaround
Standard production time after you approve your digital proof. Need it faster? Ask about rush. We charge no rush fees.
Which patch type fits your department
Departments typically mix patch types depending on the gear they're going on.
Embroidered
The standard for station wear, polos, and dress uniforms. Clean finish for department shields and unit numbers.
PVC
Rubber-like and weather resistant, built for turnout gear, helmets, and equipment that takes daily abuse.
Woven
Best for detailed department shields, mottos, and fine lettering that embroidery would blur.

From single-station volunteer crews to full municipal departments, patches identify the unit before anything else does.

Patches fire and EMS crews usually order together
- Department shoulder patches with your seal, station number or Maltese cross.
- Rocker patches such as EMT, PARAMEDIC or FIREFIGHTER above or below the main patch.
- Station and engine patches for crew pride and fundraisers.

Frequently asked questions
25 patches, same as our other patch types. Pricing improves at 100, 200, and 500+ units.
Yes. Send us your current patch or artwork and we'll digitize it, match colors as closely as the material allows, and confirm everything on a free digital proof before production.
Velcro is the most common choice since it lets crews move patches between coats, shirts, and duty bags. Sew-on and iron-on are available for station wear that doesn't need to be swapped.
Embroidered and woven patches hold up well through normal laundering. For gear exposed to higher heat or heavy wear, PVC is the more durable option.
