The Osaka Municipal Fire Department (Japanese: 大阪市消防局, Hepburn: Ōsaka-shi Shōbōchō) is the fire department of Osaka City, Japan.

History and medallion

The Osaka Municipal Fire Department was formed in March 1948. The medallion created to be their logo has many constituent parts:

  • The shield shape represents the duty of the OMFD to protect the residents of Osaka and their property.
  • The red border represents both fire and the burning devotion of Osaka firefighters.
  • The blue background represents water as a tool of firefighting.
  • The Miotsukushi (symbol of the City of Osaka) and wordmark (reading City of Osaka) represents the OMFD's devotion to upholding the authority of the city and fulfilling the trust placed in them by the people of Osaka.
