Design S0771A at a glance
A red, gold and black maltese cross finished with a gold rope border, centered on a fire helmet over crossed axes with a pine tree and flames worked into the emblem. Four lettering fields carry the department name, a station number, a motto and a founding year. The pine and flame pairing suits departments that answer both structure and brush calls, and all four lines restitch to yours.

About this helmet, pine and flame cross design
Most fire crosses stop at a helmet and axes; adding a pine tree and flames tells anyone reading it that this department fights fire in timber as well as in town. The rope border is the other distinction — a twisted gold cord edge rather than a flat merrow, which gives the patch a formal, dress-uniform finish. Red and black keep the field strong enough to hold all that detail.
Adjust it before you order: put your department and station number in the lettering, change the founding year, or swap the pine for a different tree or landmark. 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.

Pine tree fire department patch questions
Can the station number and department name be changed?
Yes. All four lettering fields restitch to your wording — department, station number, motto and year — and the proof shows every line before production.
What does the rope border look like up close?
It is stitched as a twisted gold cord around the cross outline, giving a raised, braided look instead of a flat wrapped edge. A standard merrowed edge is available if you prefer.
Can we replace the pine tree with our own landmark?
Yes. Send a photo of a tree, peak or landmark and we redraw it into the emblem at no art charge — it appears on your proof before anything stitches.
Is this design suitable for wildland crew shirts?
Yes. Iron-on or sew-on backing works on wildland tees and shirts, and many departments order a smaller 3" version for caps at the same time.
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, switch colorways. Your markup attaches to the quote automatically.
