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?

Our department is broken up in 4 shifts. The second platoon has "2nd to none", my platoon the "Fighting 4th, Hell's only fear". And as far as I know the 1st and the 3rd dons'nt have one.

A couple of more from my past...

Chattanooga Engine 15 - "The Fighting 15th"
Chattanooga Engine 20 - when I worked there, we called ourselves "The TV-Watching 20th", largely in response to Engine 15's motto and our low and slow call volume.

Tri-Community Tanker 1 - "The Super Pickle" ...did I mention that I hate that slime green color?

Tri-Community Rescue 7 - "The Axe Squad"...yeah, we occasionally broke something.

Chattanooga-Hamilton County Rescue - formerly known as "The Pumpkins", due to the shockingly orange turnout gear the squad had back in the 1970's and the early 1980's.

Three of my favorite real department names are the Water Witch Fire Co. of Port Deposit, MD, the Vigilant Fire Co. of Emmitsburg, MD and Pioneer Hook & Ladder, Truck Co. 1, Hagerstown FD.

My department was formed originally by a textile mill in the early 1900's to protect the mill as well as the surrounding "mill village". The motto that we have on our job shirts and our tower is "Pride of the village".

We have a Naval Base nearby and my friend is located at Station 3 which also helps cover a neighboring village off base. They are known as the "Village Idiots".

Our Station #2 calls their Engine the "Black Pearl" from the Pirates. And their motto is Strength and Honor. Station #1 is the Outlaws and we are still working on the motto. Thinking about Pride of the City or something like that.

God Bless You and Never Forget

Our Engine 4 is known as the Northern Rebels (they are the north side engine) Engine 1 is the "Black Sheep". My personal favorite phrase for a rig is on the back of our Ladder 2 ; "If you can read this you're second due!"

Our "official" motto is "Our family helping your family."

Unofficially, it's "_F.D. Putting the fun back in dysfunctional."
