Best Answer

The hearth, or fireplace, is a traditional symbol of the home, and the salamander is one of the official symbols of the firemen, as well as what they call their fire trucks. Both of these symbols have to do with fire, the dominant image of Montag's life-the hearth because it contains the fire that heats a home, and the salamander because of ancient beliefs that it lives in fire and is unaffected by flames. Montag enjoys his job burning books and takes great pride in it; at the beginning of the novel, it largely defines his character.

Are salamander a mammal?

No. Mammals are warm-blooded creatures with fur, skin or hair, and they give birth to live young which they then feed with mother's milk. Like a mammal, a salamander is a vertebrate, but that is where the similarities virtually end. A salamander has moist skin, and is cold-blooded. It lays eggs and has to live in water for part of its life. The salamander is a member of the amphibian family, like frogs, toads, newts and axolotls.
