The arms and their blazon
The municipality calls the motif a beacon fire and specifies a blue triple mount, a black burning pile and a red flame.
Background in the municipal sources
Huddinge links the motif to an ancient warning-fire system along Lake Mälaren. Folke Arström drew the arms in 1947; this interpretation is the municipality’s.
Heraldic elements
The heraldic elements are identified using HERO, a heraldry ontology published through Finland's Finto service. It provides structured terminology for describing coats of arms and their components. The list describes the structure of the arms, not the symbolic meaning of its elements.
