Go to Google, do individual searches after hitting the "images" button for: Fire chief hat, then fireman, then fire chief emblem. Notice that many fire chief emblems are specific to the city. You might ask the city if they have graphics of their emblem, or you may find his in this search. Note that when printing on an inkjet the color white will not print, but will be clear (the background will show through). The signifigance of this is that if you print an emblem that has white in it, and you want the white to be white, print it on a white background decal or print it on a clear decal and place it on a white surface, like the Leaf rod above.
Duluth trading has a fabric they call firehose. Not sure how close it is to the real thing, but check out the image below. If that material would work, I suggest you contact Duluth Trading and ask if they could help you with the project by providing a bigger image of the material (they have many colors). If you get an image and permission to use it then it is easy to make a decal that could be wrapped around the blank like the Mudhole Skinz. Even if the color isn't quite right it may be possible to take one of their colors and manipulate the color on a graphics program to match what you want

The decals of emblems would work great over ramps like the rods shown in the previous posting of mine.
Let me know if you would like more. I'll provide my email address. I can see a rod in my mind, based on the white Mudhole blanks, that would have firehose on the blank at the split grip and in front of the front ramp, white or red ramps depending on the emblem decal to be used, emblem decals on the ramps.
