Burnsville (MN) Event to Attempt World Record Fire Truck Parade
Burnsville, MN (ContentDesk) July 8, 2004 -- One of Minnesota's oldest community celebrations will attempt to set a world record this fall when they line up fire trucks from across the nation to participate in the 25th annual Fire Muster fire truck parade.
Fire trucks and fire fighters from across the state and across the nation will participate in this event."We've always had a large parade of fire trucks" said Penny Johnson, Publicity Chair for the all-volunteer, nonprofit group that coordinates the Fire Muster each year.
"But this year we wanted to make it really, really big so we decided to go for the world's record" she added.The Burnsville Fire Muster is an annual community celebration that features music, food, fireworks, games and of course, fire trucks. Last year event organizers estimated more than 75 of the big red vehicles participated. This year they expect even more."25 years ago a couple guys who liked fire trucks basically said let's have a parade" commented Charlie Crichton, this year's Chair of the Fire Muster Executive Committee.
"And every year since then the event has gotten bigger and better as we add more activities and fun things for people to do."Because this year is the 25th anniversary of the Fire Muster, event organizers decided to commemorate it by attempting to set the world record for fire truck parades. And they're not taking this challenge lightly. Volunteers have submitted an official request to the world-record arbiters, the Guinness World Records organization in London to make sure their attempt is duly recorded.
To set the new world record, event volunteers are inviting people from all over the country to participate. Some trucks will come from active fire departments and others will be owned and driven by fire truck collectors and aficionados.
"Anyone who has an interest in fire trucks is invited to join the parade" said Johnson. "We expect most will come from Minnesota and the five-state area but we've had interest from all parts of the country. If you have a fire truck and you want to participate, come on down. We'll make room for you."In addition to the fire truck parade, this year's Fire Muster will feature a 9/11 tribute with (an estimated) 400 fire fighters and other uniformed service members singing "God Bless America". Event organizers estimate this will be the largest 9/11 tribute in the Upper Midwest.For more information about the world-record parade attempt, the 9/11 Tribute and the Fire Muster call the media contacts below or go to www.burnsvillefiremuster.com.Media Contacts:Melissa Flach ? 952-898-5646Penny Johnson ? 952-890-8553Kevin Stirtz ? 952-960-9090.

New York, NY (ContentDesk) August 27, 2005 -- Terry M. Evans, Chairman and CEO of Fleet Defender Consulting Services, LLC, told radio listeners this morning that a coordinated terrorist attack using large trucks and/or buses might wreak havoc on the nation's economy if carriers are not prepared to prevent it. As guest of Alfred McComber, on FOX News affiliate WMET's nationally distributed early morning talk show CODE RED!, Mr. Evans warned that we need to do more to get drug-addicted drivers out of trucks, lock down the CDL licensing process, and help fleet owners to implement more physical and operational security in their fleets.Right now, he said, fleet owners are economically discouraged from implementing strong security measures even if they want to do so.Fleet Defender (www.fleetdefender.com) provides the transportation industry with services and support aimed at reducing their exposure to the threat of terrorism..

There are many necessary details which have to be kept in mind when one goes in for purchasing Discount Tires for Trucks. These tires must ensure smooth operability while catering to different loads across roads, and provide traction irrespective of weather.
Tires for trucks come in a range of sizes and are designed to perform well in a wide range of temperatures.
