| This Sunday was "Apparatus Cleaning" for our members.
The Vista Fire Department spent this past Sunday morning preparing all the apparatus for it's annual inspection dinner to be held this Saturday. With the annual inspection dinner getting closer, all the apparatus crews spent their Sunday morning fine tuning their apparatus for the big inspection next weekend. Cleaning the inside cabinets of each rig, waxing the outside of their apparatus and making sure all equipment was in good working order were some of the things our apparatus crews focused on.
The annual inspection dinner is a longstanding tradition in the emergency services where we invite several top officials in surrounding fire departments and surrounding ambulance corps from New York State, Connecticut and Westchester County.
All Vista Fire Department members are assigned to a piece of apparatus throughout the year with the goal being the winner of our annual inspection to be held on August 7th. The winning apparatus is determined by who is the cleanest and which piece of apparatus is completely in service by the day of their inspection. |
