About this tree-framed Maltese cross design
Combined fire and EMS departments in wooded country rarely see their landscape on a patch, and this design fixes that. Trees frame the Maltese cross, small icons along the sides add a playful touch, and the center keeps the traditional helmet, axes and hydrant. Green and cream replace the usual red, which gives the patch a calm, community-first feel.
Customize it: your department name on the top line, your founding year, your own three-word motto, or a Star of Life added to the cross for the EMS side. 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.

Green Maltese cross patch questions
Can a Star of Life be added for the EMS side?
Yes. A Star of Life fits on the cross or beside it, redrawn at no art charge, and your proof shows the placement.
Can the trees be changed to match our landscape?
Yes. Pines, palms, oaks or mountains redraw in their place, and your 4-hour mockup shows the new scene.
Can we switch the palette to red and gold?
Yes. Red, gold and white or navy and gold both work; preview each in the markup tool before quoting.
Will the small icons hold detail at sleeve size?
At 4 inches and up, yes. Below that we simplify them on your proof so the stitching stays clean.
How do I request changes to the tree-framed cross?
Circle the trees, the icons or the cross in the markup tool on the quote form, pin notes on the lettering and try other colorways. Your marked-up version attaches to the quote.
