I'd try copytruncate in /etc/logrotate.d/syslog for /var/log/firewall. Make a
separate section, or get /var/log/firewall out of /etc/logrotate.d/syslog
into its own /etc/logrotate.d/firewall

/var/log/firewall {
    compress
    dateext
    maxage 365
    rotate 10
    missingok
    notifempty
    copytruncate
    size +8192k
}

Not sure that it will solve the problem, though.
