FDNY Slogans??
JRM
I have been asked this by a lot of people can unfortunately can't answer it.
Does anyone know or have a list of all of the FDNY slogans for companies. I
can probably name about 25 off the top of my head buy naming them all is
pretty hard.
(example: Engine 54 "The Pride of Midtown" "Never Missed a Performance"
Engine 59 & Ladder 30 "The Harlem Zoo"
Engine 44 "The Eastside Boys"
Ladder 2 "Snoopy to the rescue"
A list would be great.
Thanks,
JM

The best I ever saw was a sign hanging from a truck company:
"Ladder 4 Midtown's Big Red Whore"
I really do remember it. Those were the days when my friends and I would
explore the interesting spots around Times Square. One Sunday night, there
was smoke coming from an adult theatre with several engines and a truck
(I think it was Ladder 4) working it. The name of the film appearing on the
marquis was: "Smoker".

Here's a couple more:
Tower Ladder 124 "Tonka TRuck"
Ladder 175 "East New York Trucking Company"
Engine 70/Ladder 53 "Where Every Run is an Adventure"
Engine 306 "Bayside Bulls"
Engine 273/Ladder 129 "The Mouse House"

In addition to those listed already, L-61 is the Bronx Vikings. There
1982 Seagrave rearmount is now in service with the Lebanon Bureau of
Fire, Lebanon, Pa. Running out of Station 1 as truck 18. It proudly
displays the Bronx Viking, Hagar the Horrible, and our own Truck Ape.
I'll keep thinking about any others that I have heard of or see.
