That is truly awesome. I wish I could have come across something like that down here. Or thought to organize something like that.
Based on what I saw down here, I'm not sure if the police should really have been so celebrated... Here they did a great job of getting in the fire men's way. Parking their cars around the fire engines while the cops enjoyed the view. I know not all of them can be included in this group, but everywhere I went in this valley, that seemed to be the case. "Help drag a hose or get the hell out of the way!" was one fireman's response...
