I had seen on the news a large boardwalk fire in NJ.

Went to Roseland's parade last Saturday and I must say it was probably the strangest fire parade I ever attended in my 40 years or so of doing parades.  So many marching groups - from the staff of the Roseland library to all kind of scout troops to the ladies sodality of the local Catholic church, etc.!  The parade was 30 minutes late in starting, and because of all the marchers, moved very slowly.  There were a few pieces of fire apparatus, police vehicles, and ambo's and when I left there I could hardly hear a thing because all of the emergency vehicles were sounding their sirens, air horns, etc.  What an experience!

 

Anyway, here are a few pics.  The rest are on my Smugmug page.

Congratulations Chief Reeves on your much deserved retirement,  While we have never met, i have "known" you for years. 

Here on Firepics and over on the old Code3 forums (even back before the dreaded Bluebird Command Bus debacle).  I have always found you to be courteous, polite, knowledgeable and just about any other positive adjective you can come up with. 

Your willingness to answer questions about SFD or firefighting in general is second to none.  Your comments, answers and posts have always been informative, well thought out and to the point.

 

I want to thank you for all the years of enjoyment and knowledge that you have provided all of us.  I hope you won't be a stranger here......

 

Again Chief, congratulations and may your retirement be long and happy.

 

Sincerely, Tim Way, Middletown, Ct

Does anybody have any shots of the original Ladder 49? It was an open cab ALF (1950 ish) which they purchased from the City of Coatesville. Love to see a shot of it as a Coatesville unit as well.
