Dover Fire Department Parade - 7/17/09

[Guest Photounit]

Under the threat of rain, Dover FD had their annual parade Friday evening....... Fortunately, the rain held off until after the parade ended..... It was a really nice parade and was well attended by the public. There was really something for everybody as the photo's will show..... You can see all the photo's I took on my web site - www.FDPhotoUnit.com.... Here's a bunch.......I have my Depts 60Th Anniversary photo's to post still but haven't because they require a lot of post-processing....... Fortunately, these didn't so here they are....Enjoy!!!!! And I got brave....... I shot some from the center line

Dover FD.....

All Dover Past Chiefs Salute as Firefighters make the reviewing stand.

Past Chief Bob Duncan (Foreground) marches along side of their antique pumper which was dressed with funeral bunting in honour of his late father Ed Duncan, who passed away recently. Ed was a past Chief of Dover as well as a past Dutchess County Deputy Fire Coordinator and was honored posthumously as the Grand Marshal of the parade......

Some of Dover's fleet.....

As the bag pipers played one......

And there were flags, that usually followed the bags....

And there were Pipers....

And their were winners......

And there were friends some of whom were trying out their new equipment..... Hey, when you figure out how to use that, let me know...... I'm still learning......
