About this maple leaf maltese cross octagon
The maple leaf turns a standard maltese cross into something with a sense of place — autumn country, sugar-bush towns, northern woods. Maroon and red deepen the palette, gold lifts the cross, and the black edge frames the octagon tightly. The ladder and hydrant keep the focus on truck and rescue work, which suits a combined rescue-and-ladder company.
Make it your company's: set your department name, station and founding year in the lettering, recolor the leaf to green or gold, or swap the hydrant for an axe or helmet. 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.

Can we swap the hydrant for an axe?
