About the flag

A banner of the arms, arms granted on 30 June 1943. The arms are the same as for the province of Västmanland, though the county consists of only about half the province and also of parts of Upland and Södermanland. The use of these provincial arms for the county have old tradition, however.
Elias Granqvist, 3 October 2000

Official blazon in Swedish: "I fält av silver ett blått, uppskjutande treberg med tre röda lågor."

Blazoned in English: "Argent, in base triple Mount Azure issuant from each Flames Gules."
