All things I say...while not always making sense are ALWAYS my opinion and only mine. They do not reflect the opinions of any department of which I am a member.

I will defer to my esteemed Irish Brother from the Motor City although I was always told than "fir" was men and "far" was man.Originally posted by MOTOWN88

Regardless, it a way of identifying yourself as a firefighter that us fellow Micks will understand

Re: Fir Na Tine????
I do not know any Latin. However, I used "Fír Na Tíne Braarys" in my tattoo to mean "Men Of Fire Brotherhood". This may not be a literal translation but everyone gets the jist.Originally posted by LRFireE135

For some reason when I read WTFD's post I had a feeling we would be hearing something from the Lt from NYC. Them and their special words for things.

We recently got a 6' All Purpose Hook from Firemark Tools and a few of us call it a "New York Hook". We then have to tell the old guys on the department it's the "new style pike pole" so they know what we're talking about
