- The Bell: The central brass bell, traditionally used for signaling alarms, is a powerful symbol often used in "Last Alarm" ceremonies to honor a member's passing.

- The Flame and Dates: The stylized flames on the sides reinforce the motto "PROTECT THE FLAME"-representing the passion, the commitment, and the life they save.
