I do love visiting this event I missed dit the last couple of years so even though i was only there for maybe 45 Minutes i took a ton of photos to make up for the years I missed LOL

I have friend sin CT NY and NJ who are volunteer firefighters, I know for a couple of them the city actually funds the fire trucks and equipment but the members always wanted to keep it Volunteer even thought he city as you say could afford and would fund a permanent fire department

I was always used to red fire trucks so seeing the yellow White and even one blue one is different for me, there is one in CT that I have sene in a parade that is pink in support of Brest Cancer research

Thanks Kindly and wishing you a wonderful Monday as well
