What is a Maltese Cross:
The Maltese cross have seven points of meaning as seen below:
It speaks to every quality our brave firefighter possess: Gallantry, Perseverance, Loyalty, Dexterity, Explicitness, Observation, Tact and Sympathy.
The exact origin story varies slightly but it is the consensus that it was created in Malta and was originally called the cross of Knights of St. John in the Eleventh or Twelfth Century who were not only known for their ability to fight fires but to attend to the sick and injured in battle. They were considered very brave and this symbol was worn on their arms during battle. Now the symbols on the Maltese Cross are a ladder, axes, helmet, fire hydrant and hose.
