Far South Fire Museum FABB member Glenn (Mr. Pyrene) Robinson
gives a tour of the back room of the Far South Fire Museum. Unusual
items like carbon tet Christmas ornaments to protect the family
tree, a hand pump device that works like a bug sprayer for carbon
tet firefighting. And click on the picture to see a variety of acid
bottles from soda acid extinguishers of old. An educational
experience.

display at Old Town in Kissimmee.
Kissimmee Meeting The highlight of the day, a parade of
classic cars and fire apparatus after dark through the streets of
Old Town.
Panama City The Panama City weekend adventure starting at
Panama Fire Apparatus for the meeting followed by a tour of Tyndall
Air Force Base fire protection and a dinner cruise on the bay. Many
thanks to Dan Brintlinger and the whole Panama Fire Apparatus
family.
Children's Fire Museum in Largo A pleasant visit to the
Children's Fire Museum in Largo, a nice tucked away collection of
fire apparatus for a good cause. The main purpose which is to teach
fire safety to the little ones while they are impressionable. But in
this case the big ones had the run of the museum and had just as
much fun. And then we went to a previously undisclosed location for
a members only auction of fire memorabilia.
