Fire Helmet Sunrise Patch — Order This Hose Nozzle and Ladder Design
Design S1615A at a glance
A custom-cut patch with a fire helmet front and center, a hose nozzle and ladder crossed behind it, and a sun rising in orange and gold across the background. A gold merrowed edge frames the scene. The lettering fields cover a department name, a founding-year line, a fire and rescue service callout and a station line, so the same art serves one firehouse or an entire service.

About this fire helmet and rising sun design
The rising sun does a lot of work here: it fills the background with warm orange and gold, which makes the navy helmet pop and gives the patch a sense of a new shift starting. The nozzle and ladder crossed behind the helmet cover both engine and truck work, so no one company feels left out. It is a classic fire-service composition with a warmer palette than most.
Customize it for your house: put your department name, founding year and station number in the lettering, add your shield number to the helmet front, or shift the sky to a deeper red for a sunset look. 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 helmet sunrise patch questions
Can each station get its own version?
Yes. Order one design with the station line reworded per house. We proof every version, and they can all ship together on one order.
Can you put our company number on the helmet front?
Yes. The helmet front can carry a station, engine or company number. We place it on the proof so you can check it at shoulder size.
Will the sunrise gradient look good when embroidered?
Yes. We stitch the sky in bands of orange and gold, and above 3.5 inches the effect reads smoothly from a few feet away.
Can the nozzle and ladder be swapped for axes?
Yes. Crossed axes, a pike pole or a hydrant can replace either element. Mark the change on the design and we redraw it at no art charge.
Where do I note my changes?
In the markup tool on the quote form: circle elements, pin numbered notes and swap colorways. The marked-up design is attached to your quote automatically.
