About this engine-front monogram Maltese cross
A head-on fire engine is one of the most recognizable things a company owns, and this cross puts it front and center. The monogram gives the rig a department identity, the two hydrants frame it symmetrically, and the engine company callout makes it a house patch rather than a generic department emblem. Navy and silver with a touch of red read as disciplined, not flashy.
Order it as shown or change it: put your department initial in the monogram, change the company number, or redraw the engine as a ladder truck or rescue. 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 engine grille patch questions
Can you redraw the engine to match our actual rig?
Yes. Send a head-on photo and we redraw your apparatus — grille, lights and bumper — at no art charge.
Can the monogram be our department initial?
Yes. The monogram restitches to any letter or pair of letters, or a station number.
Can the engine become a ladder truck?
Yes. A ladder truck, rescue or tanker front can replace the engine, and the proof shows it in place.
Do the hydrants have to stay?
No. They can be removed or swapped for crossed axes, and we rebalance the cross on your proof.
How do we request changes?
Use the markup tool in the quote form to circle the monogram, pin notes and switch colorways. Your marked-up design travels with the quote.
