Hazmat Fire Department Patch — Order This FD Maltese Cross
Design S0637A at a glance
A true maltese-cross cut — the patch itself is the cross — carrying interlocked FD letters over crossed axe and pike with flames beneath. Navy and gold keep it formal enough for dress wear while the battalion and unit arms restitch to your hazmat designation, so one silhouette serves both parade and response.

About this FD monogram maltese design
Cutting the patch as the cross itself, rather than printing a cross on a round, is the older and bolder tradition — each arm becomes a panel for wording, which is how this layout fits department, year, motto and unit into one emblem without crowding. The interlocked FD letterwork at center stitches in raised gold that catches light the way metal insignia does.
Order it lettered as drawn or set your own initials in the interlock — two or three letters both work — with hazmat or battalion wording across the arms. 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.

Hazmat fire department patch questions
Can our own emblem replace the interlocked FD monogram on this patch?
Yes. Send a photo, a scan of an existing patch, or a PDF and we redraw it stitch-ready at no art charge. Your proof shows the redrawn art before anything is produced.
What colors can this hazmat fire department patch be ordered in?
Any thread palette. Beyond the colorway shown, this art runs well in maroon-and-gold, blackout or safety-yellow accent schemes — preview each version in the markup tool and your quote references the one you picked.
Does the cross cut cost extra?
No — shaped cuts price the same as rounds and shields at every tier; the border simply follows the silhouette.
Can the lettering carry our department's own wording?
Yes. Each arm of the cross is its own wording panel. Every text field restitches to your exact wording — name, unit number, or a motto.
How do I request changes to this design?
Use the "mark up this design" tool in the quote form: circle elements, pin numbered notes, switch colorways, and place your own emblem on the patch. Your marked-up version attaches to the quote automatically.
Crossing to a different company?
The cross-cut is the service's oldest form — the fire patch inventory beyond this FD monogram maltese cross adds shields, rounds and scene designs. For tiers and timelines, check the patch almanac that schedules the monogram cross from quote to ship.
