I know the history of the Maltese Cross and recognize the symbols often within it, but on a very few of the scrambles I see the staff looking symbol attached below. Anyone have any idea what this represents?

Wild guess, some sort of key(alarm box?????) -
I've been told in the past that one of the things that the firefighters would do is march in parades, which often occured at night. Remember that this was 100+ years ago...anyway, the design you're referring to is a torch, which was carried in a U-shaped metal piece on the end of a wooden stick.
I could be completely wrong, but this is what I recall!

It is the lanterns they carried in front of the old hand drawn appratus in the days when vollies protected this country's major cities. I believe the Philly and the New York Museums have some of these on display.

Well I can't say I'm surprised Fred knew than answer, only surprised he beat dal90 to it!
Fred, I googled images for a lantern, but no real results. Did they carry the lantern on a pole in the same way the parade route was lit in the old days for Mardi Gras?My posts reflect my views and opinions, not the organization I work for or my IAFF local.
