Slightly Damp During This Year’s FireFest (GALLERY)

Despite the rain FireFest proceeded in downtown Chatham, showcasing over 100 antique emergency vehicles.

The weather did keep some locals from attending the event, but as the day went on more people began to show.

Although FireFest has only been running for a few years, it has become a popular event for locals in, and around the community.

In addition to the vehicles on display, there was live entertainment and fun for the whole family to enjoy.
