Hestia is the goddess of the hearth, which is a fireplace. She is also keeper of the hearth at Mount Olympus. One myth says that before humans had fire, Hestia looked after the flame for the gods. But Prometheus managed to charm her into giving him some of the flame to share with the mortals. Therefore, it makes sense that a flame would represent Hestia.
