What an interesting video! It raises some questions for me. for a start, has the 'Pierce' on the fire truck got anything to do with the old Pierce-Arrow company? The reason why I ask is that sometimes old names survive into specialist vehicles. The old British Alvis name survived into the 2000s on military vehicles, despite the last cars being made in the mid sixties. Also, is the bell on the truck (functional I'm sure) a sort of carry over based on tradition rather than need? Old fifties and early sixties British films involving police chases usually featured at least one Wolseley police car with a front bumper mounted 'Winkworth' bell, now a must-have on any restored police car of the period. However, once the more modern siren superseded it, the bell was gone on subsequent police cars. As for the chevrons on the rear of the truck for visibility, we have the same rules requiring large/long vehicles display such markings, though in reality, anyone not able to see something this size to avoid running into the back of it, has got a problem! Finally I am intrigued by the piper. I was wondering why an instrument that I normally associate with Scotland, plays an important ceremonial role in Florida, USA. Actually I've just had to look the answer up using the online encyclopedia, and found that the bagpipes became a ceremonial instrument with various armies around the world (probably partly as a consequence of the Commonwealth) and it seems various police and fire services around the world have adopted the bag pipes as part of their tradition. Me? I bought Mull of Kintyre by Paul McCartney and Wings in 1977. That's the only connection I've got! 

What a wonderful celebration! Fire fighters have one of the toughest jobs out there! Nice to know that they have state of the art equipment at their disposal! Most fire fighters work full time, and I imagine the fire house becomes a second home. Where I live, we are soo small and rural.. We depend on the volunteer fire department. Most of our fire fighters work regular jobs.. but when the call goes out.. It's amazing how fast they are able to get there! Our fire fighters are not necessarily paid.. but may use the time spent on fighting fires to put toward paying for city utilities. The largest job they have is in the summer months, when temperatures soar to over 100°.. drying out vegetation, and the threat of wild fires is huge!! Thanks Jack! A great tribute to the city of Eustis! Great they are close by! :D

The closest fire station is 2 miles from where I live. 

Hey Jack. Sweet looking firetruck. Is this the newest firetruck dedicated by the city of Eustis? What's this about? :)

@JesseAndMike Hey, guys! Our birds seem not to take to instruments too well..they have trouble staying in tune! LOL! Thanks! :D Jack
