BULLHEAD CITY – A massive crowd showed up this year for the annual event that brings local emergency and civic agency organizations out to meet and greet the public they serve every day. This year’s turnout was larger than last year with well over a dozen City vehicles including the original 1948 Army surplus Fire Engine that was the first fire truck BHF had.

The event showcased the many agencies that serve the residents of Bullhead City including a LIfe Flight Helicopter, the SWAT truck, the 1948 vintage Fire Engine and many more. DJ Loki was on hand to keep the crowd happy with her musical selections, and the kids that showed up were allowed to get into the various emergency vehicles and look around while the agency personnel explained how they work and made new friends with the local youth.

Refreshments were served as well to keep everyone cooled down during our extended heat which usually cools down as October rolls in.
