Fire Departments...

are amazing to see in NY and NJ.

The brotherhood and pride that they take in their stations and equipment is something to see and be a part of... nothing compares.

 

 

While in the city, we always try to visit a few fire stations to collects shirts and patches... and to introduce ourselves. I'm missing a pictures from the Ghost Buster house (Hook n Ladder 8)... Not sure where it went!

These guys were super nice to talk to!

 

Ok... 10 House! It was the station closet to the twin towers and first responding! NO ONE gets in 10 house, because they are always getting bombarded with folks! Well... this girl... got our group in.

Missy, Brittany, and I before

Newton Fire is always a host to a big party and we have a blast! They also always initiate probie members to fire departments. It is a tradition!

Freezing cold Champange

 Tom had to get soaked again too even though he'd completed with Lapel because he's now a probie at Carmel! hahaha...

After...

 

This group had a blast! Great friends...

Sussex County, NJ hosted this years Inspection Day Parade. It was miles of nothing but fire trucks and equipment. The detail while cleaning... wow! Granted it rained all morning, but still... by the start time... it was gorgeous!

Missing Trucker and Julie!
