Johnstone Fire Rally

The Renfrewshire annual Fire Rally came to Johnstone this year.

It was very well attended and nice to see the pipe band leading the appliances to the Square.

It's a pity the weather took a turn for the worst but the kids seemed to be having rare old time with all the flashing lights and the noise of the klaxons.

We had some local dignitaries in attendance and the provost was called on to participate in some of the demonstrations.

Thanks are due to all the volunteers for making the event such a success.

Paisley Fire Engine Rally - 2013

The 'Paisley Fire Engine Rally' was held today at County Place in Paisley.

I arrived rather late but managed to catch a few worthwhile images.

One benefit of my late arrival was that the weather improved somewhat and had a nice bit of sun rather then the heavy rain we enjoyed earlier in the day.

Having said that, the rain returned not too long after I left so I was indeed very fortunate.

Enjoyed the event and everyone seemed to be having an enjoyable time.
