I wonder what that is all about (OT)

Just heard a lot of sirens outside the office window and looked out to see a whole parade of emergency vehicles, including more than a few antique ones, with logos from all over the place going down the street with a motorcycle police escort... Too bad I wasn't quick enough to remember I have a camera on the cell phone and could have taken pictures.

Are you having a Spaamfa event in you area (Society for the Preservation and Appreciation of Antique Motor Fire Apparatus i America) If so check it out, lots of interesting stuff will be on display, and if they have a water source handy they will usually fire up the pumps and be pushing water.

they had their national event here 2 years ago.

The closest one listed on their calendar is the Antique Autos at History Park event in a week and a half (which, by the way, is one of the better old car events in the area if you have a pre-WW2 vehicle).

And that would not explain the police cars and ambulances (new and antique) that were there too. I am wondering if there was a memorial service for a public safety officer or similar event.... Nothing on the local paper's web site about it that I can see

I think the town of Sunnyvale does that every year. Twice I have come down where my bank is to see them all lined up. Then they took off for parts unknown with sirens blazing at a slow pace.

We have a lights and siren parade every year the day before the Woodward Dream Cruise.
