This year for the first time, members entered a York Village Fire Department float in the annual York Festival of Lights parade through York Village. The theme was “Our family helping yours” and members dressed in our different uniforms, turnout gear for structural firefighting and wildland firefighting as well as water rescue gear.
Thank You to Jaime Leighton for the use of her photographs!!!
