Emblem

Our emblem embodies the beliefs, attitudes, and direction of our organization. At its center, the purple backbone symbolizes our Hong Kong, surrounded and guarded by two serpents in red and blue. These serpents cradle a pearl representing intellect and talent. The blue serpent symbolizes paramedics, embodying wisdom and calm judgment, while the red serpent represents emergency partners, including first responders and proactive citizen rescuers, symbolizing courage and sincerity. Flanking both sides are wings symbolizing swift rescue operations and the trend towards technological digitization in rescue and training. Surrounding them are nine vibrant green ginkgo leaves, known for their resilience as one of Earth's oldest trees, symbolizing resilience, composure, love, and longevity. These qualities are essential attributes of rescue personnel.
