About this bald eagle and engine maltese cross
Volunteer companies tend to want a patch that says both country and community, and this cross does it plainly: a bald eagle above a fire engine, the rig at the heart of every volunteer house. The ladder, axe and hydrant fill out the tools of the job, and brown and gold give the red a seasoned, old-firehouse warmth instead of a bright modern look.
Make it yours before it stitches: set your department name and founding year in the lettering, redraw the engine to match your own apparatus, or move the field to navy for a dress version. 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.

Bald eagle fire department patch questions
Can the engine be redrawn to look like ours?
Yes. Send a side photo of your apparatus and we redraw it under the eagle at no art charge — the proof shows it before production.
Can the volunteer line be changed for a paid or combination department?
Yes. Every lettering line restitches to your wording, so the volunteer line can name your department type, company or station instead.
Is the eagle detail clear on a small patch?
At 3.5 inches and up, yes. Smaller sizes simplify the feathers slightly on the proof so the stitching stays clean.
Can we order shoulder and jacket-back sizes on one quote?
Yes. One quote can carry both sizes from the same art, priced together at the combined count.
How do I send our edits?
Mark them on this design with the markup tool in the quote form — circle the engine, pin notes on each line, try a colorway. The marked version rides along with your quote.
