This embroidered patch reproduces the official emblem of the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) of the Philippines, the national government agency responsible for firefighting, emergency response, and fire prevention. Established in 1991 under the Department of the Interior and Local Government, the BFP adopted the motto “Save Lives and Properties”, which appears on the emblem and reflects its core mandate of public safety and disaster response.
The central design is built around the Malta Cross, a traditional fire-service symbol representing protection, courage, honor, and service. Within the cross are firefighting symbols and national imagery, including references to the Philippine flag and heroic historical motifs representing bravery and leadership. The surrounding laurel elements signify honor and achievement, while the overall shield-style badge represents protection against destructive forces. The emblem is widely worn on BFP uniforms and equipment as a symbol of service, discipline, and public trust.
This patch is ideal for collectors of international emergency-services insignia, Philippine government memorabilia, or modern uniform patches.
