[FIN] Varsinais-suomen Pelastuslaitoksen lippu Kuninkojan paloaseman edessä. Lippu on väriltään punainen ja siinä on keskellä kuvattuna Turun kaupungin käyttämä Å-kirjain. Sitä ympäröi neljä hannunristiä ja reunoissa on neljä tykkiä. Lipun heraldiikka on vanha ja se on ollut käytössä pitkään. Sama lippu on myös pääpalolaitoksen katolla. Sama lippu lasketaan puolitankoon jos halutaan muistuttaa kuollutta palomiestä.

[EN] Flag of the Finnish Rescue Service in front of Kuninkoja fire station. The flag is red in color and has the letter Å used by the city of Turku depicted in the center. It is surrounded by four "hannun" crosses and on the edges are four cannons. The flag's heraldry is old and has been in use for a long time.
The same flag is also on the roof of the main fire station. The same flag is lowered to half-mast if you want to remember a dead firefighter. (visit link)
