From the site of Ukrainian
Heraldry:
"In a purple field with argent fess is or alarm
construction-beacon with a flame in pale. The emblem adorned by
or decorative cartouche and crowned by an or rural crown. Fire
alarm for the message of enemies approach is known with ancient
times. During cossacks time for this purpose used alarm
constructions. On a scaffold made a cone-shaped pyramid in 19
tubs with one bottom (top was absolutely without a bottom).
Emptiness inside "figure" filled by pitch. As soon as
observers noticed from a tower of enemies approach - to
"figure" immediately set fire, fire and a smoke from it
noticed on the next towers and too set fire to
"figures". So the alarm signal was quickly transferred
deep into to territory of Ukraine. Purple color symbolizes
advantage and power of our ancestors and also cossacks. The
argent fess means Trubizh river. (<www.brovary-region.com.ua/silrada/silrada.htm>)."
