The meaning of
the "Thin Red Line of Courage”
As firefighters are periled, they place their lives
second to those they protect. They are forced to face
their own fears and grasp for every ounce of courage to
perform the necessary task. “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. The firefighters from the Apex Volunteer Fire
Department designed and developed the “The Thin Red Line
of Courage” in 1999. Today, it is displayed to show
respect for firefighters injured and killed in the line
of duty.
