The year long Caisson Project is DONE!
As you may recall, while RVing through Washington State and Idaho last year, Nancy and I bought a 1978 American LaFrance fire truck. Who does that on their vacation? Some crazy firefighter no doubt. Well, we had it transported back to Phoenix, I sent a letter out to our retirees for volunteers to come help build it into a Caisson.
Fast forward a year later, I got 10 to 12 amazing, enthusiastic retired firefighters to help, after a LOT of sanding, waiting on craftsmen to do work we could not do, pounding on doors (not really pounding) for donations, and donating the truck to a non-profit organization, we finally present the truck as finished.
Last weekend we transported a New York FD retiree to his final resting place. Our first. The family was very thankful for our service, but it is OUR honor to pay a final tribute to any retired firefighter.
I present to you, THE FINAL TRIBUTE CAISSON.
