Fire Hose Patch — Order This Coiled Hose & Flame Badge Design
Design S0831A at a glance
A badge-shaped patch with a gold border, built on a maltese cross carrying a coiled hose and a flame, in red, grey and gold. Lettering covers a volunteer fire department name, a founding year, a rescue division line and a motto. The grey adds a steel tone that sets it apart from all-red fire patches, and every lettering field restitches to your company.

About this coiled hose volunteer design
The coiled hose is the humblest tool on a rig and the one every volunteer learns first, which is why it makes such an honest centerpiece. Here it sits on a maltese cross with a flame, set in a badge shape with red, grey and gold. The grey gives it a working, steel-and-canvas feel, and the badge outline leaves room for longer company names.
Customize it for your company: change the division line to rescue, hazmat or water operations, swap the flame for your station number, or build it subdued for gear bags. 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 hose patch questions
Can the division line name our special team?
Yes. It restitches to any wording — rescue, hazmat, water operations or a station name.
Can we sell these as fundraiser patches?
Yes. Many volunteer companies order a fundraising batch alongside member patches; iron-on backing is the usual choice for supporters.
Can you swap the flame for a different emblem?
Yes. A station number, an engine silhouette or your company seal can replace the flame at no art charge.
What size works on a t-shirt?
3 to 3.5 inches on the chest, 10 to 12 inches on the back. We adjust lettering for each size on your proof.

Use the markup tool in the quote form: circle the hose or lettering, pin notes and choose a colorway. Your markup goes with your quote.
