Santa Float Part 1

It is that time of year again, that the firefighters of Station 95 take Santa Claus out to deliver Christmas cheer and collect food for the Mead Food Bank. Here are some pictures. There should be more to come.

Brownie Brittle

Thanks to Shiela G's for sending the delicious Brownie Brittle. Station 95 was honored to receive this treat and to show our appreciation, we had to take a picture.

Front Row: FF Heglin, FF Schick, Lt. Varner, and FF VanGelder
Back Row: FF Colt, Lt. Everman, FF Scanlon, Capt. Perkins, and FF Hairston.

For those who don't know what Brownie Brittle is, you can check it out here.

And the consensus from the crew is that this would make an awesome cereal.
