Fire Battalion Patch — Order This Helmet & Hydrant Round
Design S0633A at a glance
A scalloped round in straight red and gold that loads the maltese cross with working tools — helmet above, axe and coiled rope at the sides, hydrant below. It is the equipment inventory of an engine battalion rendered as insignia, and the department and battalion banners restitch to your numbers at no art charge.

About this helmet and hydrant round design
Two-color red-and-gold is the oldest palette in the fire service, and this round leans into it rather than diluting it — every tool on the cross stitches in gold relief against red fields. The coiled rope is the uncommon element; it nods to rescue work and ties the four emblems together literally and visually.
Order it with your battalion number as drawn, or adjust the loadout — a pike pole for the axe, a company number on the helmet shield, or white-dress trim for parade sets. 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.

Fire battalion patch questions
Can our own emblem replace the helmet and hydrant arrangement 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 fire battalion patch be ordered in?
Any thread palette. Beyond the colorway shown, this art runs well in maroon-and-gold, blackout or white-dress schemes — preview each version in the markup tool and your quote references the one you picked.
Can stations share one design with different numbers?
Yes — the battalion banner restitches per station at no added art charge, and combined quantities still price as one order tier.
Can the lettering carry our department's own wording?
Yes. Department and battalion numbers occupy separate banners. 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.
Rolling on a different box?
Tool-laden crosses are the classic form — the fire patch series beyond this helmet and hydrant round spans districts, companies and rescue squads. To set quantities and builds, review the patch sequence guide that orders the battalion round step by step.
