              We had over 300 visitors in our Museum at SFD Headquarters during the festival,
                                 and several hundred more on the mall and in the park

                    We displayed our entire "active" fleet this time, with 18 fire apparatus,
                                  as well as several from the Seattle Fire Department

                                                         Photos coming soon!
