-The Adventures of Rescue Monkey-

Rescue Monkey is the creation of an unknown individual within the Lexington Fire Department to poke good-natured fun at the Rescue Team. The Rescue Monkey has drawn quite a following from both inside and outside of the Rescue Team and a new version is distributed by email every few days. In fact, the Rescue Monkey has become a mascot of sorts for the team. If you don't want to take my word for it, check out: http://www.rescue1lfd.com  -FF Galati
