FDNY Red Hook's Engine 279 defies Fire Department ban on racy nicknames

[biglew 3]

I remember when they finally allowed the companies to have nicknames. Now they want to make them change them if their too sensitive. I think they should leave them with what they have, as long as it isnt blatently offensive.

Then again, I didnt think St Johns University should have had to change their name form the Redmen to the Red Storm. Too much politics involved. But the Redskins are ok right?

I second that one, Sarge.

Its amazing how being "pc" has ruined anything good. What a shame.
