Design S0921A at a glance
A red and black Maltese cross with a gold border, carrying a fire helmet with crossed axes and keys, plus a fleur-de-lis. The lettering holds a department name, a rural operations line, initials, an established year, a three-part motto and a battalion line. The keys and fleur-de-lis lift it past a standard helmet-and-axes cross into something with heritage.

About this fleur-de-lis and keys Maltese design
The fleur-de-lis has a long history in fire service heraldry, and this cross pairs it with keys — a symbol of access and trust — alongside the helmet and axes. The result is a cross that looks ceremonial without losing the working tools. Red, black and gold are the fire service's classic colors, and the gold border holds the eight points crisply.
Customize it with your department name, initials and founding year, put your battalion or district on the lower line, and use your own motto. The fleur-de-lis can stay, or be replaced with your own regional symbol. 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.
