| The
original Little York Fire Department patch was created in 1977 by members
Wes Cole and Ronnie Smith. After researching different patches
across the country, and taking bits and pieces from each patch they came
across they came up with this one. Its shape came from a design in
Massachusetts, while our slogan "That Others May Live" was from
a patch from Pennsylvania. The center reflects the Maltese
Cross, which is the symbol of honor and protection with the date the
department was established in 1942. After the design was completed by the
two members, it was taken to membership and passed unanimously. This
patch has been in circulation ever since. |

In 2006 Little York again looked at different
patches to create a new patch for the department. The original design
was created by David Griffin using a combination of the Fire Department of
New York, Houston Fire Department, and the existing Little York Fire
Department patches. The design was submitted to the membership for
consideration and with the membership input, a new patch was created and
accepted by the membership. |
