This tartan was designed as a salute to firefighters, everywhere in the world, who are ready to sacrifice their lives everyday for the protection of others. It was also designed to memorialize those firefighters who have already made the ultimate sacrifice.
The red background of the tartan represents fire and the fire trucks;
The black is in remembrance of those who have already made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty;
The green and gold represent the Irish community which has such strong ties with the organization and occupation of fire fighting;
And lastly, the three red lines in the middle of each square are: 3 red threads, 4 red threads, and 3 red threads – representing the 343 NYFD firefighters who lost their lives on 9/11/2001 – the largest amount of fire fighters who ever perished in a single day in the history of the United States.
