Rescue Company Maltese Cross Patch — Order This Fire Helmet Design
Design S1416A at a glance
A gold-edged Maltese cross in navy, red and gold, with a fire helmet carrying a flame set over crossed axes at its center. Lettering carries the department name, a fire department line, an established-year line and a rescue company line — a classic, uncluttered cross for a company that wants its role on the patch.

About this rescue company helmet and flame cross
Some crosses try to fit the whole firehouse inside; this one keeps to three symbols — helmet, flame and crossed axes — and lets the Maltese cross do the rest. That restraint is what makes it a good rescue company patch: it reads from across an apparatus floor, and the navy, red and gold palette is the fire service's oldest combination. The gold edge keeps every arm sharp.
Order it as shown or change it: put your department name and established year in the lettering, rename the company line for squad, engine or truck, or add a company number beneath the helmet. 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.

Rescue company Maltese cross patch questions
Can the company line read engine or truck instead?
Yes. The rescue company line restitches to any company designation, so one art can serve every company in the department. Each version gets its own proof.
Can the helmet carry our company number?
Yes. We can place a company number or shield on the helmet front; add it as a note in the markup tool and it appears on your mockup.
Does this cross work as a cap patch?
Yes. With only three symbols at center, it holds up at 3 inches, which suits ball caps and beanies.
Can we change the established year?
Yes. The year line restitches like every other line and shows on the free mockup within 4 hours.
How do I mark up our edits?
In the quote form, open the markup tool, circle the helmet or axes, pin notes and switch colors. Your marked design is sent along with the quote.
