This photo on Flickr shows a flag for the Cayman Islands Fire Service. The flag is light blue, with the Fire Service badge on a white background in the centre. The badge is of the same basic design as that of (London's) Metropolitan Police - a many-rayed star with a crown at the top, bearing a circular emblem. In the case of the CIFS, this is the Cayman coat of arms, as it appears on the territory's flag, in side a red border containing the black text " THE CAYMAN ISLANDS " / "FIRE SERVICE". The white area surrounding the badge is separated from the field by a black border, and is in the shape of a large circle (that would comfortably include the star without crown) extended by a smaller partially overlapping circle at the top, to include the crown.

The more accurate comparison is with what is referred to as the British Fire Service badge, rather than that of the Metropolitan Police.
This badge is an eight pointed star (kind of like two squares placed on top of each other) and that, according to the Hampshire Fire & Rescue Service, the eight points of the star represent such qualities as tact, gallantry and so on. See the interesting article here: http://www.hantsfire.gov.uk/servicebadgesorigin which also states that the origin of what they call the British Fire Service Badge was in the Maltese Cross.
Variants of this fire service badge also tend to have a smaller number of minor rays in between the eight large ones, such as the six on the Cayman Islands Fire Service flag, whereas there are usually eight
depicted on the Metropolitan Police Service badge.
The coat of arms inside the circle is different from the one shown on the Cayman Islands flag alongside it, in that there appears to be no red on the fire service flag, only a pale blue field. The logo shown on the web site of the Cayman Islands Fire Service quite clearly shows that the lion should be on a red field, as in the main Cayman Islands flag.
