I've seen lots of Companies, Squads, and such that have sayings on their apparatus. Like FDNY has "Midtown Madness" for Ladder Co. 24/Engine Co. 1, or "Never Missed A Performance" on Engine 54 and "Pride of Midtown" on Ladder 4. What is your company/squad motto or what do you have written on your apparatus?
We've got a lot of them in Birmingham, Al including E22 "the double deuce", E12 "The midnight caller", Q27 "The beast from the East", E6 "The Road Warriors" etc. I think it's great to have an identity that the guys can rally around and have a little pride in.
Well at the moment the one I know is "From the Meadows to the Ghetto's" and I can believe that cause if you go towards DC its the ghetto's and away from DC it's farms.
My volly dept has been in business since 1886, when there used to be a railroad running thru the village. So my department has Round Lake Express on each of the trucks.
