On which shoulder of the uniform is a station patch to be worn?

The correct placement of the station patch is on the right shoulder of the uniform for both Class A and Class B uniforms. This standard is intended to create consistency and uniformity within the Houston Fire Department, helping to establish an easily recognizable identity among firefighters. Wearing the station patch on the right shoulder allows for clear visibility and identification of the department and the specific station to which a firefighter is assigned. Understanding this placement is essential for maintaining the professional appearance expected in emergency services, as well as fostering a sense of pride and belonging within the organization.
