BTW, Mayor Buddy drove past. He was in a LARGE city flatbed that had a salt spreader on the back. The windows were up and a city employee drove, but people recognized Buddy riding shotgun.
Like the Times Square Rally, fire trucks couldn't stay away. I recall at least two different ones passing. For sure, one had American flags one it, one of which was pretty big. I was busy when the first past, so I can't say one way or another about that one.
I don't think either was coming or going to or from fires, they just went past.
