CAL FIRE Hats
CAL FIRE Hats — Caps, Beanies & Leather-Patch Headwear
Every CAL FIRE hat on this page is built for the people who actually wear the patch — on strike teams, at the station, and off duty. As a CAL FIRE Local 2881 Approved Authorized Vendor (CAL FIRE® marks used under license) with stores in Redding and Ione, California, we carry one of the widest CAL FIRE cap selections in the state and embroider most styles in-house before they ship. Not every hat here is duty-approved, so check your unit's current policy before wearing one on shift.

CAL FIRE hat FAQ
Are CAL FIRE hats duty approved? Some are, some aren't. Red-text embroidered caps are the widely worn on-duty style, but policies vary by unit — always confirm with your captain before wearing one on shift.
What's the difference between red text and white text? Red text is the standard approved embroidery; white text is a limited-edition off-duty look.
Can I get my name, rank, or station on a CAL FIRE hat? Yes — we add name tapes, rank, and station patches in-house before shipping.
Do you have cheap CAL FIRE hats? Yes — our “$15-ish” hat collection offers approved styles at the lowest prices we carry.
