Description
This embroidered patch features the Honolulu Fire Department insignia, the patch of the HFD, the fire department serving Honolulu, Hawaii. It is cut in the shape of a Maltese cross in gold with a blue border, carrying HONOLULU on the top arm and FIRE on the bottom arm in blue, firefighter tools on the side arms, and a crowned Hawaiian coat of arms at the center.
Center: The heart of the patch is a blue-ringed disc holding the Hawaiian coat of arms – a white heraldic shield topped by a gold crown. The shield is quartered, showing the Union Jack and stripes of the Hawaiian flag, a green field with a heraldic charge, and Hawaiian flag stripes, framed by white mantling. The crown and royal heraldry give the patch a distinctly Hawaiian identity.
Top and Bottom Arms: HONOLULU arches across the top arm of the cross and FIRE runs across the bottom arm, both in bold blue block letters, naming the department on the gold ground.
Side Arms: The left arm carries a gold scaling ladder crossed with a bugle and pike pole, and the right arm carries a gold fire hydrant – traditional firefighter tools worked into the side arms of the cross.
Shape & Base: The patch is cut as a Maltese cross, the classic symbol of the fire service, in gold with a blue outline and scalloped lobe tips. The gold ground and blue border set off the central coat of arms, the blue lettering, and the gold tools as the focal points.
Embroidery Quality: Full-coverage stitching with high stitch density holds the fine detail of the crowned Hawaiian coat of arms, the Union Jack and flag stripes, the gold ladder, bugle, and hydrant, the gold cross and blue border, and the HONOLULU and FIRE lettering with sharp, even edges and a durable surface that stands up to daily uniform wear and laundering.
This is the kind of Maltese cross patch the fire service is known for. Compare it with the Chicago Fire Department patch, the Philadelphia Fire Department patch, and the Phoenix Fire Department patch, which are also cut in the Maltese cross shape.

🛡 Authorized Purchase & Credential Verification
Patches bearing a real agency or department name are sold only to that agency or its authorized representatives. Law enforcement and public-safety buyers must provide proof of occupation, valid credentials, or an authorized purchasing letter before production begins. We do not sell agency-named patches for personal use.
Custom and fictional designs — for example, a made-up department like “Town of Western Hope Police” — are welcome, as are designs where you change the agency or department name to your own.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is shown on the Honolulu Fire Department patch?
The patch is cut as a gold Maltese cross with a blue border. HONOLULU runs across the top arm and FIRE across the bottom arm in blue. The left arm carries a gold ladder, bugle, and pike pole, and the right arm a gold fire hydrant. At the center, a blue-ringed disc holds the crowned Hawaiian coat of arms with its quartered shield, Union Jack, and Hawaiian flag stripes. Owl Badges reproduces it as an embroidered patch.
What is the coat of arms at the center of the patch?
The center carries the Hawaiian coat of arms - a white heraldic shield topped by a gold crown. The shield is quartered, showing the Union Jack and stripes drawn from the Hawaiian flag, a green field with a heraldic charge, and more flag stripes, framed by white mantling. The crown and royal heraldry tie the patch directly to Hawaii and the city of Honolulu. We reproduce the coat of arms in detailed stitching.
What are the tools on the side arms of the cross?
The left arm of the Maltese cross carries a gold scaling ladder crossed with a bugle and pike pole, and the right arm carries a gold fire hydrant. These are traditional firefighter tools, worked into the side arms of the cross to frame the central coat of arms. We reproduce each tool in detailed gold stitching.
How is this different from the Chicago, Philadelphia, and Phoenix Maltese cross patches?
All four are cut in the Maltese cross shape, but each is its own design. The Honolulu cross is gold with a blue border and a crowned Hawaiian coat of arms at the center, with a ladder and hydrant on the side arms. The Chicago cross is red and white with a hydrant, ladder, and pike and a CHICAGO disc. The Philadelphia cross is gold with DEDICATION and SERVICE banners and the Philadelphia coat of arms. The Phoenix cross is black with EST. 1886 and an ornate PFD monogram. We reproduce each department's design exactly as its own patch.
Can you make a custom Maltese cross fire patch like this?
Yes. A Maltese cross cut with a central emblem, lettering on the arms, and firefighter tools is a classic fire-service layout, and we can adapt it for your own department - your cross color, your center emblem, your tools, and your lettering. A free proof is provided before production so you can confirm every detail.
Do I need credentials to order a patch with the Honolulu Fire Department name on it?
Yes. Patches bearing a real agency name such as the Honolulu Fire Department are sold only to that agency or its authorized representatives. Fire-service and public-safety buyers provide proof of occupation, valid credentials, or an authorized purchasing letter before production begins. Custom or fictional department designs, and patches renamed to your own department, are welcome without that step.
