At the end of the evening, Miller said that by
special order of the governor, the department had permission to
raise the flag to full staff in honor of the Chicago firefighter who
had been killed in the line of duty.
Immediately afterward, everyone was invited to
stay for celebratory cake and punch.
The plaque on the side of the vehicle notes
the date of the dedication and the city officials who helped make
the new vehicle a reality.
Chief Miller cuts the cake.
Alderwoman Kathy Horn serves up the fruit
punch.
Treasurer Chuck Conzo and wife Judy enjoy
the evening at the firehouse.
Firefighters from Lincoln Rural check out the
new rig.
This almost looks like someone decided the new
truck deserved a piece of cake as well.
