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.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.
