Round Fire Department Patch — Order This Phoenix & Crossed Axes Design
Design S0665A at a glance
A red round edged in gold, with a phoenix rising from a shield at center and a pair of crossed axes behind it. The department name rings the top, a tradition-of-service line and an honor-and-sacrifice motto fill the lower ring, and an engine company designation sits under the shield. Just two colors carry the whole design.

About this phoenix and crossed axes round
The phoenix is fire service shorthand for resilience — the department that rebuilds after every call — and this round pairs it with crossed axes to keep the tools of the trade in view. Two colors make it the most economical layout in the fire catalog, and the round cut holds a full ring of lettering for the department name and motto without shrinking either.
Order it as shown or adapt it: your department name in the ring, your engine company or station in the lower line, a different motto, or the phoenix replaced by your department emblem. 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.

Round fire department patch questions
Can the lower line show our engine company?
Yes. The company line restitches to your exact designation, and the mockup shows it under the shield.
Can we use our own motto?
Yes — both ring lines carry your wording; long mottos move into a lower scroll on your proof.
Is two colors enough for a department patch?
Yes. Two-color rounds read cleanly and cost less; a third accent color can be added if you want.
What backing works on turnout liners?
Sew-on. Heat and heavy washing defeat iron-on adhesive, so liner patches are stitched down.
How do I request other changes?
Use the "mark up this design" tool in the quote form: circle the phoenix, pin numbered notes, switch colorways — your marked-up version attaches to the quote automatically.
Prefer a maltese cross or shield?
A phoenix round is one department format. The fire department patch shapes beyond the phoenix and crossed axes round covers maltese crosses, shields and station mascots. Bringing your own department emblem or comparing builds? The patch ordering guide for putting your emblem into a two-color phoenix round is the place to start.
