Avon (or Avon by the Sea, pronounced Av-on)

Monmouth County



The home of the third largest percentage of those with Irish ancestory in the US. Avon is located just north of Belmar, just north of the Shark River. Oddly enough none of their apparatus were in the parade. I caught their ladder outside the firehouse on the way home. It'a 2005 Seagrave, 100ft ladder.



That's all for now

It amazes me to see pics of parades with people all over the apparatus, when we the fire fighters can't ride the rear step anymore evening when responding to a fire. In my neck of the woods, parades require all personel to be in approved rideing posistions and belted. It scares me to see these pics with family, friends, and kids hanging on whereever they can in a parade. Just my thoughts, Gordon

Sadly, this might one of the many small towns of New Jersey that our governor and certain legislators are targeting to forcibly merge with other municipalities by cutting off or greatly reducing state aid.
