Sorry this post is so late. Busy time for me. I was very proud of our department on 10-1-08. We invited the Pink Ribbon tour to stop by our District 1 fire house. We all stepped up and purchased special pink duty shirts to wear for their arrival. The number of citizens who stopped to see the rig and it's trailer while at our fire house was amazing. We were able to reposition the engine and the trailer near the campus of Notre Dame and St. Mary's. A stream of survivors and family members of those who fought, but lost, a courageous battle continued as word spread throughout the community.
My Hats off to the national chain hotel for providing accomodations for the volunteers to spend the night so they could have a good night's rest before traveling to IL the next morning.
In honor of the conclusion of the Pink Ribbon Tour, Our department will be wearing our pink duty shirts the last three days of the month.
A awesome experience, one which I hope we can be a part of next year.
