The
medallion that you can see to the left was devised
and adopted in 1948 to symbolize the spirit of
Osaka's firefighters. The shape of the shield
represents our duty to protect citizens and their
property from the ravages of flood and fire. The
red of the border stands not only for fire, but
also for our burning devotion to protecting the
people of Osaka. The pale blue of the background
signifies water, the firefighter's prime weapon
in combating fire. The yellow of our city emblem
"Miotsukushi" (representing markers to warn ships
away from shallows and sandbanks) and the white
of the letters "Osaka City" denote our self-sacrificing devotion to
upholding the authority of our city and fulfilling
the trust placed in us by the citizens of Osaka. |

protect the lives, safety, and property of the
citizens of Osaka from fire and other forms of
disaster. The area covered by our fire-fighting
operations includes the 24-wards of Inner Osaka.
