Firefighter Helmet Fronts That Carry Your Identity

When it comes to firefighter gear, not all helmet shields are created equal. Your helmet front isn’t just decoration—it’s your identity, your rank, your crew, and your pride every time you step off the rig. At Little River Customs, our custom firefighter helmet shields are handcrafted from real leather and built to take the same punishment you do: heat, sweat, smoke, and years of hard service.

This collection brings together every shield style you’ll find in the fire service today. Whether you want the traditional look of a Standard Issue Firefighter Helmet Shield, the bold identity of a Maltese Leather Shield, or the personalized structure of a Passport Firefighter Shield, we’ve got you covered. Each piece is cut from full-grain leather, finished by hand, and designed for clarity under the toughest conditions—because when the strobes hit and the scene is chaos, your shield has to read fast.

Our designs cover the full spectrum of firehouse tradition and modern customization. You’ll find Three Rocker Firefighter Shields that lay out department, rank, and number in a clean format, Flag and Shamrock Shields that show your pride on and off duty, and attitude-driven builds like the Renegade, Ole Salty, and The Plug Shields for firefighters who want their lids to say exactly who they are. Officers can step into Bugle Shields for command presence, while companies can lock in their identity with Company Shields tuned to their crews.

Beyond tradition, we give you room to make it your own. From the Full Custom Firefighter Helmet Shield that lets you build from scratch, to Passport Inserts that give you quick-change flexibility, every option is tailored to help you carry your rank and reputation with pride.

These aren’t souvenirs. They’re working helmet shields designed by a firefighter, for firefighters. Built to last, ready to break in with character, and made to hold their profile shift after shift. When your crew pulls up, there’s no mistaking your shield, your identity, and your standard.
