Despite on and off rain last Saturday evening, the 6th Battalion Parade went on as scheduled. The Wantagh Fire Department hosted this year’s parade, which began at Cedar Creek Park and ended just past the train station.
Several fire departments from the area participated. Wantagh led the march, and was followed by Massapequa, North Massapequa, North Bellmore, Levittown, Seaford, North Merrick, Merrick, Bellmore, East Meadow and Hicksville. Firefighters were marching in formation, and were judged as they passed the review stand just off of Beech Street.
The thickest crowds could be found under the railroad trestle as everyone tried to stay dry. Kids and adults waved as the fire trucks, ambulances, chiefs’ cars and bands went by.
