An explanation of the "Ne Relinquas" on the windshield comes from their website:
The Honor Statement of the Campbell Fire Department and Campbell Firefighters is "Ne Relinquas".
A proud statement in Latin, this Honor Statement embodies the spirit, determination, and dedication of generations of Campbell Firefighters.
"Ne" is a negative subjunctive. The term "Relinquas" is the subjunctive form of "Relinquere", carrying the connotation of "abandon" or "leave behind". Translated into English, <b>"Ne Relinquas" means "Never Quit", "Never abandon", and "Never Leave Behind"</b>.
These words describe a philosophy that has been passed from firefighter to firefighter through years of mentorship. This philosophy is a legacy left for future Campbell firefighters by their predecessors.
