Coat of Arms

image by Tomislav Šipek, 03 November 2015

Blazon: Venstre skrådelt av sølv og grønt ved buet ulvetannsnitt. English: Per bend sinistre rayonny of wolf-teeth argent and vert.
Approved by the royal resolution of 30 October 1992, after a drawing by Harald Hallstensen (cf. http://www.grue.kommune.no/individ-og-samfunn/flagg-og-ordener/945-grues-kommunevapen)
http://www.ngw.nl/heraldrywiki/index.php?title=Grue explains the symbolic so: This represents the clearance of farms in the woods by the use of fire and is also a remembrance of the gruesome church fire of 1822. The colors symbolize the forests and the Glomma river.
And, I would guess that this design is somewhat canting, as the municipal name sounds like "grue" of "gruesome" (with the meaning dreadful in Norwegian too) and the wolf-teeth are "gruesome" enough, but it may be that this symbolic was not intended.
