Volunteer Fire District Patch — Order This Phoenix and Hose Maltese Cross
Design S0787A at a glance
A navy, red and gold maltese cross edged in silver, with a phoenix paired with a fire helmet, axe and hose at the center. Five lettering fields hold a fire rescue name, a single district number, a founding year, a two-word motto and a volunteer district line. The silver edge gives it a cooler, more official finish than the usual all-gold firehouse cross.

About this phoenix and full tool set cross
Where many phoenix designs show the bird alone, this cross gives it the full kit — helmet, axe and hose — so it reads as a working fire service emblem rather than a symbol. That makes it a strong choice for a fire district that oversees several volunteer companies. A dedicated number field and a separate district line let each company show its place in the larger organization.
Order it as drawn or rework it: set your fire rescue name and district number, update the year and motto, or move the border to gold to match your existing patches. 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.
