V.F.I.S. Fire Truck Rodeo and Display of new & antique firefighting equipment

Come on out to Millbrook High School on Friday, May 3, to get your fill of fire engines--big and small, old and new.

In addition to seeing hundreds of all types of fire engines, you will get to see the 10th annual Fire Truck Rodeo sponsored by VFIS (Volunteer Firemen’s Insurance Service). Watch as firefighters drive the huge machines backwards and forwards through tightly-spaced cones to the tick of a stopwatch. This competition begins at 9 a.m., rain or shine, and provides firefighters the chance to demonstrate their driving skills and improve the performance of their everyday driving. Trophies are awarded for
first- through fourth-place winners.

In addition to watching the rodeo, there will be a fire apparatus photographer on hand to provide free photographs of the vehicles. Come on out for the chance to see up close hundreds of antique and brand new fire engines, aerial ladders, and specialty vehicles. Many of the antique vehicles are more than 100 years old. The antiques will line up and parade downtown beginning at 2 p.m. This division of the Firefighters’ Parade is sponsored by the Old Dominion Historical Fire Society.
