Star of Life Symbol - EMS Medical Emergency Emblem #95609 (License: Personal Use)

This high-contrast black-and-white image displays the Star of Life, a six-pointed star adopted by the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in 1973. At its center is the Rod of Asclepius-a serpent-entwined staff representing healing and medicine-symbolizing the six core functions of EMS: detection, reporting, response, on-scene care, care in transit, and transfer to definitive care. The design ensures visibility and immediate recognition in critical situations.

Used on ambulances, EMS uniforms, signage, training materials, and official documentation; it signals emergency medical authority and aligns with user intent for identifying or learning about EMS symbols, first responder protocols, or medical iconography.
