The Vista Patch



Our 1st patch
      1941
 1956
Today     


Award winning Color Guard - 1997 Memorial Day parade Over the decades, Vista F.D. has had three distinctive patch designs. Our first patch of 1941 was a black diamond depicting the word "VISTA" in a silver rectangle superimposed over a silver "V". In the 1950's this was replaced for a short time with a white chevron depicting a gold eagle with a flag banner and ribbon captions stating "Fire Dept. Vista New York".

Vista Fire Department's current patch is a red chevron depicting the flags of the United States and a flag bearing the scales of Justice flying from a firefighting multise cross, surmounted by an American eagle. "Vista NY" appears at the top, and "Est. 1941" proudly states our long heritage of over 50 years of service.

Our department patch is worn on both shoulders of our white parade uniform shirt. The patch is also depicted on both doors of our chief's car.
