Pixels at an Exhibition: Yreka Fire Department

Tuesday, February 28, 2012

We got to Yreka just in time to catch the Xmas parade with our good friend Dennis last December. I got a shot or two.

ahab said...: Nice shot.

Do they actually light a fire to extinguish for this parade?

And there's a "Yreka" as well as a "Eureka"?; February 29, 2012 at 7:29 AM
Generik said...: No, no fires lit during the parade.

And yes, the two cities are separate entities. Eureka is on the coast, along Hwy. 101. Yreka is well inland, on I5 near Mt. Shasta.; February 29, 2012 at 8:20 AM
Tom Hilton said...: Really cool shot.

The way you can distinguish the two towns is that Yreka is near Weed, and Eureka is where they grow it.; February 29, 2012 at 9:24 AM
ahab said...: Eureka: I thought they raised Reagan there.

G, what's that yellow glow silhouetting the fireman? Are you sure the fire department wasn't just responding to a parade on fire?; February 29, 2012 at 10:06 AM
Generik said...: There was some fog/smoke/I don't really remember what drifting through the parade. Whatever it was, it was pretty innocuous (but certainly prevalent). And it made for good background.; February 29, 2012 at 8:05 PM
ahab said...: Sorry, I just felt like harassing you.; March 1, 2012 at 9:24 AM
