Pine Tree Maltese Cross Patch — Order This Fire Helmet and Axes Design
Design S1699A at a glance
A dark green Maltese cross with a tan merrowed edge and red accents, carrying a fire helmet with crossed axes, a pine sprig and a pine tree. Lettering carries the department name, a district number and a founding year. The forest palette is a deliberate break from red-and-gold crosses, made for departments whose first-due area is mostly woods.

About this pine tree Maltese cross helmet design
A Maltese cross in dark green and tan looks like it belongs to a department that fights fire among the trees, and that is exactly who orders it. The helmet and crossed axes keep the structure-fire tradition, while the pine sprig and pine tree add the forest. Red appears only as an accent, so the cross reads as earthy and grounded rather than loud.
Order it with your department name, district number and founding year, switch the pines to oaks or firs, or flip the palette to red and gold for a dress 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.

Pine tree Maltese cross patch questions
Can our district number go on the cross?
Yes. The district line restitches to any number or name, and several districts can order the same design with their own numbers.
Can the pine trees become a different species?
Yes. Oaks, firs, spruces or a local landmark tree redraw into the same spots, at no art charge.
Is a green Maltese cross acceptable for a fire department?
Many rural and forest districts choose green to reflect their territory. If you prefer tradition, a red and gold version stitches from the same art.
Will the pine sprig read at small sizes?
At 4 inches and up it stays crisp. For 2.5-inch cap versions we simplify the needles on your proof.
Can I mark up the cross before ordering?
Yes. Circle the helmet, pines or lettering and add notes in the markup tool; the marked version is submitted with your quote and returned as a revised mockup.
Comparing forest-district and traditional fire patches?
A green cross suits departments surrounded by woods. The fire department designs beyond this pine-and-helmet green cross include red-and-gold crosses, station rounds and specialty unit shields.
