Volunteer Fire Company Scroll Patch — Order This Helmet and Ladder Design
Design S1675A at a glance
A scroll-cut patch in maroon, gold and red, built around a fire helmet resting on a crossed ladder, axe and pike pole, with a flame completing the emblem. The company name runs across the scroll and a motto line closes it out. Maroon merrowing traces the curled outline, and every word of lettering restitches to your own volunteer company.

About this volunteer fire helmet and ladder scroll design
Volunteer companies tend to want insignia that look like they have been around for generations, and a scroll silhouette delivers that heritage feel on day one. The helmet-over-tools arrangement is classic firehouse heraldry: ladder, axe and pike pole say truck work without a single word. Maroon and gold keep the palette warm and traditional, while the red flame adds one hot accent.
Order it with your company name across the scroll and your own motto on the closing line, or recolor the maroon to navy or black to match your station gear. 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.

Volunteer fire company scroll patch questions
Can our company name replace the lettering on this scroll?
Yes. The name across the scroll and the motto line both restitch to your exact wording, and we space the letters to follow the curl of the scroll on your proof.
Can we add our company number to the helmet?
Yes. The helmet front takes a number or short initials cleanly; note it in the quote form and it appears on your mockup before anything is stitched.
Is a scroll harder to stitch than a round patch?
No. The curled ends are cut and merrowed like any custom outline. Price follows size and quantity, not shape, so the scroll costs the same as a round of equal size.
What size works on the back of a station jacket?
Ten to eleven inches across lets the ladder rungs and pike pole read from a distance. For sleeves, 4.5 to 5 inches is the usual pick.
How do I mark up changes to this design?
Open the markup tool in the quote form, circle anything you want changed, pin notes on the scroll and try other colorways. Your marked version rides along with the quote request.
