Firemen sound off so as to herald their inopportune arrival. The selfless yet intrusive work they do has few equals in our society: cops, soldiers, firemen--professionals risking their lives for others. In the years we lived on the west side across from a hook and ladder company that went out screaming four or five times a day, I came to hate their noise and love their work. I know I'm not telling the daughter of a fireman anything she doesn't already know.
I guess I was/am wondering why they need to blast everyone along the parade route. We can admire them , their big shiny trucks and their selfless work on parade day, without their painful noise.

Man, that water is low.
Great pic of Shawnee Boy.
Also great pic of the spunky li'l podner. Who's the biker in the back?
