The new Jerry Engle. Makeover in Bladensburg.

In the many comments on multiple forums about the recent videos from Kentland VFD, a common theme was the physical appearance of FF Jerry Engle. Engle, formerly a member of Kentland, and currently with Bladensburg VFD, arrived for our interview with a shirt on. That in itself was surprising, considering that Jerry often would go most places, including to fires, without a shirt. It was also a lot more clothing than he was wearing when the camera was rolling during the Kentland videos.

What most people wrote about were Jerry’s spiky, orange colored Mohawk haircut and the numerous piercings on his face.

At Firehouse Expo I began hearing that Jerry very recently had a makeover. Sources, and Jerry himself, later confirmed orders came down through Bladensburg’s leadership that the hairstyle was out and there would be no piercings that could be visible to the public.

FF Jerry Engle complied earlier this week.
