Down at the Fire House

El Dorado Fire/Rescue had their annual open house last Saturday. It was our first year to attend. What a wonderful event - the fire house and all the trucks, emergency vehicles and equipment on display, lots of exhibits and free goodies for everyone, fun things for the kids to do, and a great barbecue buffet.

John and I had a good laugh -- first condiment in line to put on hamburgers and hot dogs -- a big bowl of green chile -- only in New Mexico!

We met our next door neighbors there and got acquainted with them. Very nice couple.

And I had a chance to meet the Fire Chief. Actually it was our second meeting - he was in our house in August with the ambulance crew that came to my aid the day I needed to go to the hospital -- but I don't remember much about that visit; I had a chance to thank him for the quick response by his crew.

It was a nice afternoon. Eldorado sure has a lot of events for the residents and a wonderful community spirit.

Here's some pictures:
