BMFD Open House

The guys at the local fire department had an open house yesterday. All the gear and apparatus for the department was on display, with a healthy dose of police department stuff available also. Eli and Briggs had a blast; Calvin was at home napping. Eli got to ride in the cab of one of the trucks. Briggs was content to get a photo with Sparky the Fire Dog. He also had a good time looking at the old gear in the museum area. In the museum we saw a large display of photos from major fires in Black Mountain history put together by two kids from church (Marc B. and Paul C.). The folks at the station did a great job putting on an exciting and intersting event. More photos of the day here.
