Phoenix Fire and EMS Patch — Order This Star of Life Maltese Cross
Design S1603A at a glance
A gold-edged Maltese cross in red, gold, blue and orange, with a phoenix over a Star of Life and a fire engine with crossed axes completing the scene. Five lettering elements name the department across two lines, then add a fire department line, a medical and suppression line and a unit number — a patch built for crews that run both kinds of calls.

About this phoenix and Star of Life cross design
Fire departments that run EMS alongside suppression usually end up with two patches; this one does both jobs on one cross. The Star of Life carries the medical side, the engine and crossed axes the fire side, and the phoenix over them stands for a department ready for whatever the call turns out to be. Orange and blue join the standard red and gold, which gives the cross more color range than a traditional fire patch.
Make it yours before it stitches: set your department name across the top lines, change the unit number, reword the medical and suppression line, or swap the engine for your rescue or ambulance. 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.

Phoenix fire and EMS patch questions
Can the engine become an ambulance?
Yes. Send a photo of your ambulance, rescue or quint and we redraw it on the cross at no art charge. The 4-hour mockup shows it with the phoenix and Star of Life.
Can we change the unit number?
Yes. The unit line restitches per run, so each company can have its own version. Every version gets its own free proof.
Can the medical and suppression line say fire-rescue or EMS?
Yes. All five lettering elements restitch, so the dual-role line can read fire-rescue, EMS division or any title your department uses.
Can the Star of Life be made larger?
Yes. We can scale the Star of Life up and the phoenix down if medical work is your main role, or the other way around. Your proof shows the balance before production.
How do I send changes?
Use the markup tool in the quote form to circle the phoenix, engine or a lettering line, pin notes and switch colors. The marked-up cross attaches to your quote.
