You'll find many different Firemen Patches that feature the traditional logo of hat, pole, axe, hose, and ladder. They're often circular or in the shape of the Maltese Cross, which the fire department uses as its official symbol. However, there are a few that don't make use of the standard logo. One of these is the Fire Dept Ride Free Eagle Dragon Patch. While it's in the shape of the Maltese Cross, this large patch doesn't use any of the traditional firefighter symbols. Instead, it features a large eagle battling a fiery dragon.
Ride free is one of the popular sayings of bikers. Riding free without distractions, restrictions, or anything else holding you back is what most bikers aspire to. The two creatures on the patch, the eagle and the dragon, represent the firefighters and the fire itself. The dragon is surrounded by flames and is spitting fire, destroying everything around it. The eagle, on the other hand, is done in black and white so it stands out. These two animals are very detailed, you can see all the feathers on the eagle and the burning scales on the dragon.
This firefighter patch measures ten by ten, so it will take up the entire back of a patch. If you've ever felt like the eagle who battles the fiery dragon, this is the patch for you. If you're putting it on leather, you can sew it on. If you're going to put it on any other material, you can iron it on.
