Special Hazards Fire Patch — Order This Axe & Nozzle Phoenix Design
Design S0629A at a glance
A flame-edged shield built for the units that catch the calls nobody else wants: crossed axe and hose nozzle under a rising phoenix, all mounted on a maltese cross. The tool pairing names the work — forcible entry and water — while the flame border makes the patch read hot even in grayscale. Unit number and district lines restitch to yours.

About this axe and nozzle phoenix design
Crossed-tool emblems are firefighting's oldest shorthand, and pairing the axe with a nozzle — rather than the usual twin axes — signals a unit equipped for both entry and attack. Setting that over a phoenix on the cross stacks three generations of fire symbolism without crowding, because the cream panels hold each element apart.
Order the tools as drawn or swap for your discipline — pike pole, halligan or TIC — with your unit number stitched into the dedicated field. This page shows a design concept we manufacture to order — your stitch-ready proof arrives 6–12 hours after you order, and nothing is produced until you approve it.

Special hazards fire patch questions
Can our own emblem replace the crossed axe and nozzle on this patch?
Yes. Send a photo, a scan of an existing patch, or a PDF and we redraw it stitch-ready at no art charge. Your proof shows the redrawn art before anything is produced.
What colors can this special hazards fire patch be ordered in?
Any thread palette. Beyond the colorway shown, this art runs well in blackout, maroon-and-cream or gray hazmat schemes — preview each version in the markup tool and your quote references the one you picked.
Can this be sized for helmet fronts?
Yes — 2" to 2.5" versions stitch with simplified tool detail for helmet fronts and brow pads, usually velcro-backed so they transfer between lids.
Can the lettering carry our department's own wording?
Yes. Unit and district wording each get a dedicated stitch field. Every text field restitches to your exact wording — name, unit number, or a motto.
How do I request changes to this design?
Use the "mark up this design" tool in the quote form: circle elements, pin numbered notes, switch colorways, and place your own emblem on the patch. Your marked-up version attaches to the quote automatically.
Equipped for a different alarm?
Tool crests mark the specialist companies — the fire department patch index beyond this axe and nozzle shield spans engine, truck and rescue designs. To settle construction and pricing first, use the patch checklist that carries the hazards shield through quote to proof.
