Quite the Fire Department for a town of 700 people.  Of course these Volunteers also serve the surrounding Country Side.

Each town in Clayton County has their own Volunteer Fire Department and each department prides itself with having the best equipment that they can afford.  Often is is gently pre-owned equipment from larger cities which the volunteers rehab.

I hope that you have enjoyed these two entries about the annual Parade in Garnavillo, Iowa.  This is America at it's very best.

Thank You!!!
