About this helmet, crossed axes and scroll design
Apparatus and fleet crews rarely get their own patch, but they keep every engine and ladder in service. This design gives them one: a traditional fire helmet over crossed axes, with a scroll banner that holds a motto. Navy, gold and red keep it in the family of department insignia, while the tan edge sets it apart as a division patch.
Order it as shown or customize it: put your department and division names in the lettering, change the motto on the scroll, or add a wrench or gear for a fleet-maintenance version. 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 apparatus division patch questions
Can the division line say Fleet or Logistics instead?
Yes. The division line, the name line and the scroll all restitch to your wording on the 4-hour mockup.
Can you add a wrench or gear to the design?
Yes. A wrench, gear or apparatus number can join the helmet and axes at no art charge, shown on your proof.
Which backing suits coveralls?
Sew-on. It survives heavy laundering and shop wear; iron-on is better kept for caps and light apparel.
Can the helmet match our department's style?
Yes. Send a photo of your helmet and we redraw it to match at no art charge.
How do I show you what to change on the scroll design?
Open the markup tool in the quote form, circle the helmet, axes or scroll, pin numbered notes and choose a colorway. The marked-up patch goes along with your quote.
