We have launched our new web store. Currently, we are offering a set of pictures from 1902 which include all the apparatus in service in the city at that time. We also have a limited amount of T-shirts available at this time. If you are not able to purchase your size, check back in a few days as a new shipment is due to arrive anytime now. Over the next few months we will be adding more items such as sweatshirts, and gift items. Check back often to see whats new. We would like to offer special thanks to Chief Jim Davison for his service to our union, and Web Designer Jason Fisch of Fisch Internet Solutions for his hard work and dedication to making this site as great as it is. Thank you both.
