Thin red line license#

It has nothing to do with being paid or volunteer. Those that add stuff to it, don’t know the meaning or the intent. So to answer your question new guy, the main purpose of the plate is to show respect to the ones’ that have gone before us and made the ultimate sacrifice. And now, who would have known that when I make trips to the NJ Firemen’s Convention in Wildwood, NJ, that I’d be seeing thin red line stuff being sold by vendors. We said “of course you can, no big deal”, especially since the funds go to a worthy cause. He asked if he could use our idea of the “thin red line” tag to show respect to our fallen Brothers and Sisters. He was the Chief of one of our neighboring departments, and some of our guys were close to him. Shortly after this, a gentleman by the name of Paul Dunwell created the N.C. So, we all grabbed the front tags off of our cars/trucks, and painted them black and placed a thin red line of electrical tape in the middle. So, being the smart *****e$ we are, we said “let’s make thin red line plates to stand for the fire department”. Some had no idea, which made it hilarious.

It became an ongoing joke, asking all the cops what it stood for.

So, one night when a cop was sitting out front, one of the guys asked the cop “hey, what does that blue line license plate mean”? The cop just said “it’s the thin blue line, stands for law enforcement and the line we walk between good and evil”. There was a group of us, like 8-10 that were all young in service, and eager to catch first out on every call possible. So, in the good ol’ days like ’96-’97, the cops would pull up on the front ramp when we’d be hanging out during those warm summer nights. Now, it’s one of the fastest growing areas in the nation (Apex, NC). It used to be a sleepy little town, one where you roll the sidewalks up at night after 9pm. I was a member of a volunteer department in NC from ’95-’07. I know, because I was there when the idea was brought up. I’ll give you guys the history on where this version of “the thin red line” came from as it relates to the fire service. In the words of one of the first who came up with the idea: Today, it is displayed to show respect for firefighters injured and killed in the line of dutyĪnd as for how the “Thin Red Line” got its start in the fire service, well, it started with a bunch of kids who wanted to make fun of the local cops, who initially had the thin blue line, and has had its popularity exponentially increase. The firefighters from the Apex Volunteer Fire Department designed and developed the “The Thin Red Line of Courage” in 1999. “The Thin Red Line of Courage” represents the last ounce of courage firefighters find deep in their blood to conquer their darkest fears in order to save and protect life and property. They are forced to face their own fears and grasp for every ounce of courage to perform the necessary task.
