Fire Ladder Company Patch — Order This Hose Firefighter Diamond
Design S1456A at a glance
A red-merrowed diamond in royal blue, red and white, with a firefighter braced on a hose line and a small Maltese cross alongside. Three lettering lines name the department, the fire services line and the ladder company with its number, so one patch identifies both the department and the house — a clean, bold layout that reads from across an apparatus floor.

About this firefighter and hose ladder company diamond
Diamonds are less common than crosses on fire patches, which is exactly why companies choose them — the outline is recognizable at a glance in a line-up of station patches. This one keeps the scene active: a firefighter mid-task on the hose, with a small Maltese cross for the service. Royal blue and red with white lettering give strong contrast on both navy and gray station wear.
Design your own version: letter the diamond with your department and ladder company, redraw the firefighter to show your gear and helmet style, or enlarge the Maltese cross if your department prefers it front and center. 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 ladder company patch questions
Can each company in our department get its own number?
Yes. List the company numbers in the quote form; each version shares the art and only the number line changes, with every version shown on the proof.
Can the firefighter be redrawn with our gear?
Yes. Send a photo of your helmet and turnouts and we redraw the figure to match at no art charge.
Is a diamond shape harder to sew on?
No. A merrowed diamond has a firm edge that sews on like a round patch; many crews choose velcro for jackets.
Can the Maltese cross be larger?
Yes. We can enlarge it behind the firefighter or move it to the top point of the diamond.
How do I tell you what to change?
Draw on the diamond in the markup tool inside the quote form, add notes and switch colors. The edited version is sent with your request and confirmed on the mockup.
