About the Flag

It is a typical Portuguese communal flag, with the coat of arms centred on a plain red field.

Shield Argent with base wavy of Azure and Argent, an oven Sable masoned Argent with fire of Gules and Or, in chief three roof tiles Gules ordered per fess. Mural crown Argent with three visible towers (village rank) and white scroll with inscription in black capitals "FORNO TELHEIRO".
Meaning:
The arms are partially canting, displaying an oven (Port.: forno) and roof tiles (Port.: telhas). The oven probably is a brick kiln. The base wavy is representing the Mondego River.
