Description
This embroidered patch features the Columbus Division of Fire insignia, the patch of the CFD, the fire department serving Columbus, Ohio. It is a round gold patch with a black border, carrying COLUMBUS OHIO arched across the top and DIVISION OF FIRE around the bottom in black, around a central Maltese cross and flame emblem.
Center: The heart of the patch is a black Maltese cross outlined in gold and white, set on a black disc. At its center is the Columbus Division of Fire emblem – a stylized flame in red, orange, yellow, and white, twisting upward in a modern, sculpted design. The flame and cross sit cleanly against the black center, framed by the gold field.
Top Section: COLUMBUS OHIO arches across the top in bold black block letters, curving around the upper edge of the round patch and naming the city and state above the emblem.
Bottom Section: DIVISION OF FIRE arches around the bottom in matching black block letters, naming the department around the lower edge. A small black dot sits on each side, at the left and right, separating the top and bottom lettering.
Shape & Base: The patch is round, on a gold twill ground with a black outer border and a black inner ring framing the center. The gold field and black ring set off the black Maltese cross and the bright multicolor flame as the focal point.
Embroidery Quality: Full-coverage stitching with high stitch density holds the fine detail of the black Maltese cross, the red, orange, yellow, and white flame, the gold field and black rings, and the arched COLUMBUS OHIO and DIVISION OF FIRE lettering with sharp, even edges and a durable surface that stands up to daily uniform wear and laundering.
This is one of a series of fire department patches in the gallery. Compare it with the Atlanta Fire Rescue patch, another round fire patch, the Phoenix Fire Department patch, and the Chicago Fire Department patch, both built around a Maltese cross.

🛡 Authorized Purchase & Credential Verification
Patches bearing a real agency or department name are sold only to that agency or its authorized representatives. Law enforcement and public-safety buyers must provide proof of occupation, valid credentials, or an authorized purchasing letter before production begins. We do not sell agency-named patches for personal use.
Custom and fictional designs — for example, a made-up department like “Town of Western Hope Police” — are welcome, as are designs where you change the agency or department name to your own.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is shown on the Columbus Division of Fire patch?
The patch is round, with a gold field and a black border. COLUMBUS OHIO arches across the top and DIVISION OF FIRE around the bottom, both in black, with a small black dot on each side. At the center, a black Maltese cross outlined in gold holds the Columbus Division of Fire emblem - a stylized red, orange, yellow, and white flame. Owl Badges reproduces it as an embroidered patch.
What does the flame and Maltese cross mean?
The Maltese cross is the traditional symbol of the fire service, standing for protection and courage. At its center, the modern twisting flame is the emblem of the Columbus Division of Fire, representing the fire the department fights. Together they combine a classic fire-service symbol with the division's own modern logo. We reproduce both in detailed stitching.
Why does the patch say Division of Fire instead of Fire Department?
Columbus calls its fire agency the Division of Fire, lettered around the bottom of the patch as DIVISION OF FIRE under COLUMBUS OHIO at the top. We reproduce the wording exactly as it appears on the original, so the patch carries the department's real name.
How is this different from the Atlanta Fire Rescue patch?
Both are round fire patches, but the designs are distinct. The Columbus patch is gold with a black Maltese cross and a modern multicolor flame at the center. The Atlanta patch is black with the Atlanta skyline, a gold eagle, EST. 1882, and a fire cross paired with an EMS Star of Life. We reproduce each department's design exactly as its own patch.
Can you make a custom round fire patch with a flame emblem like this?
Yes. A round patch with a Maltese cross and a modern flame emblem is a clean, bold layout, and we can adapt it for your own department - your emblem, your cross, your colors, and your lettering. A free proof is provided before production so you can confirm every detail.
Do I need credentials to order a patch with the Columbus Division of Fire name on it?
Yes. Patches bearing a real agency name such as the Columbus Division of Fire are sold only to that agency or its authorized representatives. Fire-service and public-safety buyers provide proof of occupation, valid credentials, or an authorized purchasing letter before production begins. Custom or fictional department designs, and patches renamed to your own department, are welcome without that step.
