Company Mottos

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?

My depts Motto is "A Few Serving Many". I guess because there are about 30 of us serving 16 square miles. Our trucks are labled different names. Squad 15 our Heavy Rescue is labeled "Independence"; Engine 5 "Terminator" (this is due to it being our main response Engine); Engine 4 "Awesome"; Brush 15 "The Energizer" (This is a 1981 GMC Brush Truck. It is called the Engerizer because it is an automatic but when you drive it you have to actually shift gears. We have tried everything to blow the engine but nothing seems to work). We also have an ATV Search and Rescue trailers and ATVs, An Open Water and Underwater Response team but really dont have any names or mottos for the vehicles. if you want to check them out our site is www.marmacfiredept.com

When I joined my co the motto was "JACK OF ALL TRADES" Because we did everything water rescues, fires, extractions etc but now we are known as "THE CROSSTOWN EXPRESS" becouse we can get from one side of the city to the other before anybody can get a chance to call in service

we have a company motto which was thought of in the last few years we just became to be known as "The house of pain" just because of our history of being one of the busiest houses in the county.

We have "Rollover Capital" because we have 3 major highways in our district.
