Fighting Fire with Fundraisers


The annual fire department open house and raffle is always a big hit, and provides vital support for volunteer training and equipment purchases. They have to be ready for anything, any time, to keep us alive, intact, sheltered, and in business. More photos linked here in my Overflow blog.

Your city is really active! I think I want to move to Willits. :)

This is a very nice photo, and a very good thing they're doing for the community.

Kim - thank you so much. You are always so generous, and have one of the most inspiring blogs going.

Cavite - You see? We notice these things. Happy Birthday!

Jim - They were ready for company coming over, it's true.

Burd - Thank you. Yes, that's the inside of one of the side cabinet panels. It had so many gauges, it looked like they could play the hoses like a pipe organ.

D - Thank you. It was one of those photo opportunities with loads of possibilities.

Halcyon - Lately, there have been so many events, I just can't get to them all! It's that time of year I guess. This blog has certainly gotten me out to things I would have missed otherwise. You're welcome in Willits anytime. Oh! And check out the updated Little Lake Industries post... I got an "after" picture.

Great post, it looks almost like a Formula One cockpit.

Whoa, this is the first time I've seen a firetruck's panel up close. Dizzying! Didn't realize it would have so many gauges, levers and what-not.
