Star of Life Symbol - Emergency Medical Services Emblem #1631784 (License: Personal Use)

This black-and-white line illustration depicts the Star of Life, the official symbol of emergency medical services worldwide. At its core lies the Rod of Asclepius, representing healing and medicine, encased in a six-pointed star that signifies the six stages of EMS response: detection, reporting, response, on-scene care, care in transit, and transfer to definitive care. The design is standardized by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and used on ambulances, uniforms, and medical signage.

Used on emergency vehicles, first responder gear, medical websites, and public health materials; matches user intent for identifying EMS symbols, understanding medical iconography, or sourcing vector graphics for healthcare design.
