Volunteers of the Winter Springs Fire Department
Vehicle Insignia
August 12, 1974
This letter is, in reference to the recent discussion by council
to adopt one standard1nsignia for all city, owned and operated
vehicles'.
Although this idea is based on unity and economy, the officers
and m~n of the Winter Springs Volunteer Fire Department feel
that a general symbol, such as the one recently proposed, does
not in any way relate to the fire department. \ve agree that a
police car looks like a police car and that a fire truck looks
like a ,fire truck. We further feel, however , that the accom-
panying identifying markings on such vehicles should relate
somewhat to the profession they represent.
The Maltese Cross is the universal symbol of fire fighters
throughout the world - much like wings are to flying.
The members of the volunteer fire department hereby petition
the council to reconsider its original proposal of .008 symbol
and permit the fire department to utilize the symbol for the
fire trucks as originally requested. The members of the de-
partment are anxious to complete dressing up the trucks since
the painting project is nearing completion.
Thank you for your consideration.
