About this volunteer phoenix and axes shield
Volunteer companies tend to carry more words on their patches than career departments — founding year, battalion, a motto, a values line — and this shield is laid out to hold all of it without crowding the emblem. The phoenix in flames is the fire service’s oldest image of coming back stronger, and the crossed axes beneath keep it grounded in the work. Navy with red and gold is a classic high-contrast fire palette.
Customize it freely: put your company name and department line in place, rewrite the motto, set your battalion, or trade the axes for a halligan and pike pole. This page shows a design concept we manufacture to order — proof within 6–12 hours, production after your approval.

Who orders this design
Volunteer fire and rescue companies order this shield for new-member kits, anniversary years and fundraising merchandise, since the same art works on a uniform shirt and a hoodie. Combination departments with paid and volunteer crews use it to give the volunteer side a patch of its own. Many orders add a run of iron-on versions for the annual fundraiser.

Volunteer fire and rescue patch questions
Can our company’s own motto replace the one on the design?
Yes. The motto line restitches to any wording — Latin, English or your company’s own phrase — and your mockup shows it placed before production.
We have six lines of text. Will it all fit?
This layout already carries six lettering lines. Order it at 4 inches or larger and every line stays readable; smaller sizes get a simplified layout on your proof.
Can we order iron-on patches for fundraiser gear?
Yes. Iron-on backing is available on the same design, and one order can be split between sew-on uniform patches and iron-on merchandise patches.
Can the crossed axes become a halligan and pike pole?
Yes. Tell us which tools you want and we redraw them under the phoenix at no art charge.
How fast can we have patches for an anniversary event?
Rush production runs 7–10 days after you approve the proof, and the first mockup arrives within 4 hours of your quote request.
