Fire District Station Patch — Order This Pine Tree Bell Design
Design S0763A at a glance
Cut in the shape of a fire bell, this patch puts a pine tree on a Maltese cross with an axe and a pick — wildland tools for a station that works the timber line. Lettering covers the district name, a motto and a station title with its number. Red, navy and gold keep it classic firehouse.

About this pine tree fire bell station design
The station bell was the firehouse alarm long before sirens, so a bell-shaped outline signals fire service before anyone sees the cross. Inside, the pine tree and the pick-and-axe pairing point to wildland work, making this a good fit for districts at the edge of forest land. Giving the station number its own line turns it into a house patch crews wear with pride.
Districts usually set the district name and motto, change the station number for each house, and swap the pine for a local landmark if the station is not in timber country. 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 district station patch questions
Can each station get its own number?
Yes. Each station number is its own version on the quote, with the rest of the art identical so every house matches.
Can the pine tree change?
Yes. It can become a mountain, a water tower or any local landmark, redrawn from a photo at no art charge.
Can the bell shape become a standard round?
Yes. The same art moves onto a round or shield with a merrowed edge if you prefer; the bell outline is the signature of this version.
What size works on caps?
About 2.5 inches tall. We simplify the tool detail on your proof so it stays clean at cap size.
How do I request changes to this design?
Use the "mark up this design" tool in the quote form: circle the pine, pin notes on the station line and switch colorways. The marked-up version attaches to your quote.
Need patches for the rest of the district?
A station bell is a house patch. The fire patch range beyond the pine tree station bell covers department crosses, engine companies and wildland crews. For the district's budget questions, the patch ordering guide pricing a station bell patch by quantity answers them before the order.
