About this fire station hydrant and Maltese cross round
Two colors, one cross and four tools of the trade: this round keeps fire service symbolism simple and readable. The helmet and ladder stand for the crew, the hydrant and water drop for the supply that keeps a line charged, and the Maltese cross ties them together as the oldest emblem in the fire service. Navy and gold make it equally at home on a Class A jacket or a station T-shirt.
Make it your station's: set the unit name, initials and station number in the four lettering fields, add your company number to the helmet front, or switch the gold to red for a bolder look. This page shows a design concept we manufacture to order — your stitch-ready proof arrives in 6–12 hours, and production waits for your sign-off.

Fire station hydrant patch questions
Can each station get its own number?
Yes. The station number line restitches per run, so every house in your department can order its own version of this round on one quote.
What goes in the two initials fields?
Usually your unit or department initials, but they restitch to any short text — company number, a call sign or a founding year. Your 4-hour mockup shows the exact wording.
Can we change the navy and gold to red?
Yes. Red and gold, red and white or black and silver all work with this layout. Switch colorways in the markup tool and your quote references the version you picked.
Will the hydrant and water drop stay readable at cap size?
Yes. With only two thread colors the tools stay crisp down to 3 inches. Below that we simplify the smallest lines on your proof first.
How do I mark changes to the cross?
Open the markup tool in the quote form, circle the helmet, ladder or hydrant, pin a numbered note and switch colors. The marked-up version attaches to your quote.
