Fire fighter mourning flags are used to honor firefighters who have been killed in the line of duty. These flags are also used by fire departments to signify the loss of one of their colleagues, even when the death has occurred off duty.
Firefighter mourning flags are made up of three vertical stripes. The left stripe is purple, the middle one is white and the right stripe is black. On the center white stripe is a Maltese cross in black outline. In the center of the Maltese cross is a black circle with firefighting tools printed in white. The tools include a ladder, trumpets and a firefighter's helmet. Above the cross are the words “IN MEMORIAM" printed in black ink.
Nylon flag material does not absorb water and dries quickly, perfect for outdoor use in moderate wind conditions and wet weather. These mourning flag is fitted with a canvas header and brass grommets.
