A custom-cut patch with a red border, built on a Maltese cross with flame and carrying a helmeted firefighter with a pine tree. Black, red, green and white keep the forest and the fire both in view, and stacked lettering names the area, the fire protection and forestry unit and a response motto.

About this forestry firefighter pine cross design
Forestry fire crews live between two worlds — the structural tradition of the Maltese cross and the wildland work of the timber — and this patch carries both. A firefighter in helmet stands for the crew, the pine tree for the land they protect and the flame for the job itself. Green against black and red makes the tree read immediately, which sets it apart from purely structural department patches.
Make it fit your crew: put your area and unit names in the lettering, change the motto, redraw the helmet as a wildland or structural style, or swap the pine for a fir, spruce or the species on your ground. 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.

Forestry fire unit patch questions
Can the helmet match our wildland or structural style?
Yes. Tell us your helmet type or send a photo and we redraw the firefighter to match at no art charge. The 4-hour mockup shows the new figure on the cross.
Can the pine tree become a different species?
Yes. Fir, spruce, redwood or a stand of trees all work — send a reference and the proof shows the change before anything stitches.
Can the lettering name a hand crew or engine company?
Yes. Every lettering element restitches, so the patch can read hand crew, engine company, fire protection district or any unit title you use.
What size suits crew hoodies?
Most crews pick 10 to 11 inches for hoodie and jacket backs and 4 inches for sleeves. One quote can price both sizes.
How do I mark changes?
Use the markup tool in the quote form: circle the firefighter or tree, pin a note on each lettering line and switch colorways. The marked-up patch goes in with the quote.
Comparing wildland and structural fire designs?
This cross is cut for one forestry fire unit. The fire department designs beyond this helmeted firefighter and pine tree cross also cover engine, ladder, rescue and volunteer company layouts. If the question is iron-on for hoodies versus sew-on for shirts, or how pricing scales with crew size, the patch ordering guide that prices a pine-and-flame forestry crew cross answers it.
