Official blazon

Hopeisessa kentässä musta havupuun kanto, josta punaiset kultasydämiset liekit nousevat ylös ja sivuille.

Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on May 30, 1950.

The burning pine stump alludes to slash burning during the time when these areas were first cultivated.

In 1946 a first proposal for arms was made, showing a cross and a wheatear. These were not adopted.
