What to Look For in Fire Department and Paramedic Embroidered Patches

Firefighters and Paramedics around the country rush to the call of duty at a minute’s notice. These trained professionals learn how to work hard under pressure so they can be an asset during emergency situations. Embroidered patches created for Fire Personnel and EMTs have a number of uses. Most commonly sewn to uniforms for identification purposes, the durable items come in a variety of sizes, shapes, and styles.

Embroidered Patches Plus has helped customers in the past create custom patches to honor the brave men and women who put their lives on the line everyday to help others in need. These individuals are often rewarded for their efforts. Fire department awards are often handed out to exceptional people who go above and beyond the call of duty. Fallen firefighters and emergency personnel can also be honored by having their name or initials included in the design of the fire dept patches.
