look up the folklore of salamanders and phoenixes. why do you think the fireman use these animals as their symbols?

Look at recent stories of fires across America and you can see the courage and strength demostrated by the hundreds of firefighters. The Phoenix portrays the good thats brought out of them in the ashes of destruction. The Salamader portays the ablility to regrow, as in the world after a destructive fire is the ablility to rebuild. I hope this answered your question.
