Volunteer Fire Phoenix Patch — Order This Maltese Cross Design
Design S0767A at a glance
A navy and red maltese cross with a gold border, carrying a phoenix spread above a fire axe and helmet at its center. Six separate lettering fields surround the emblem — room for a department name, a rescue line, a unit number and a motto — which is why volunteer companies with layered identities order this layout. Every field restitches to your wording.

About this phoenix, axe and helmet cross design
The phoenix is the fire service’s rebuild symbol, and setting it above an axe and helmet ties that idea to the work on every call. The palette stays at three colors — navy, red and gold — which keeps the bird crisp at shoulder size and lets the cross outline do the framing. Six lettering fields give a volunteer department space to name the company, the rescue role and the unit without crowding the emblem.
Order it as drawn or rework it: set your company name and unit number in the lettering fields, trade the motto for your own, or recolor the cross to match your apparatus. 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.

Volunteer fire phoenix patch questions
Can every lettering field carry our own wording?
Yes. All six fields — company name, rescue line, unit number and motto included — restitch to your text, and the proof shows each one set before anything is produced.
Can we order one run with different unit numbers?
Yes. Split the quantity across unit numbers in the quote form; every version counts toward the same price break, so ten of each across three stations prices as a 30-piece order.
Will the phoenix hold its detail on a small cap patch?
Down to about 3 inches the feather lines stay distinct. Smaller than that, we simplify the wing splits on your proof so the stitching stays clean, and you approve it first.
Can the cross colors match our apparatus?
Yes. Swap navy and red for black, maroon or any thread color you run — preview the change in the markup tool and your quote references the version you picked.
How do I request changes to this design?
Use the "mark up this design" tool in the quote form: circle the phoenix, pin notes on the lettering fields, switch colorways. Your marked-up version attaches to the quote automatically.
