Dedication of the Fire Firefighters Flag

The main symbol of all fire fighters is the Maltese cross. It dates back many centuries to the time of the crusades. It is a symbol of protection, a badge of honor and its story is centuries old.

When a courageous band of Crusaders, known as the Knights of St. John fought the Saracens for possession of the Holy Land, they encountered a new weapon unknown to European warriors. It was a simple but horrible device of war. It wrought excruciating pain and agonizing death upon the brave fighters for the Cross. The Saracens' new weapon was FIRE.

As the Crusaders advanced on the walls of the city, they were struck by glass bombs containing naphtha. When they became saturated with the highly inflammable liquid, the Saracens hurled a flaming tree into their midst. Hundreds of Knights were burned alive. Others risked their lives to save their brothers in arms from dying painfully fiery deaths. Thus these men became our first fire fighters - the first of a long line of courageous men. Their heroic efforts were recognized by fellow Crusaders who awarded each hero a badge of honor - a cross similar to the one that fire fighters wear today.

Since the Knights of St. John lived close to four centuries on a little island named Malta, the cross came to be known as the Maltese cross. The Maltese cross is a fire fighters badge of honor, signifying that he works in courage - only a step or a ladder rung away from death.
