On the web site of FDNY Engine Company 231, there is a message announcing the birth of two children to members of the house. There is a family's somber note of thanks to the Watkins St. house for providing an honor guard at the funeral of a retired division commander from E231.

And there is one more item that catches the eye: "All Members Of Watkins St. Are Now Officially NY Ranger Fans!"

"Congratulations," the message reads, "to the newest member of the NY Rangers - Chris Higgins, who happens to be the son of Captain Bobby Higgins E231!" And finally: "The men are hopeful in anticipation of a 'Stanley Cup visit to Brownsville' sometime in the near future!"
