Design S0935A at a glance
A custom-cut patch with a gold edge, built around a Maltese cross carrying axes, a trumpet and a helmet in navy, red and gold. The lettering names a volunteer fire department, a founding year and a battalion designation. The trumpet is the traditional symbol of fire officers, which makes this design a natural fit for battalion and command-level wear.

About this trumpet and helmet battalion design
Trumpets have marked fire officers since the days when commands were shouted through them, and they still appear on chief and battalion insignia. This design combines the trumpet with axes and a helmet on a Maltese cross, so it reads as both firefighter and command. Navy anchors the palette, and red and gold stay close to fire service tradition.
Order it for battalion staff or customize it department-wide by changing the battalion line. Your department name and founding year go in the lettering, and the trumpet count can match rank if you want. 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.
