Happy to assist with the Police Unity Tour

Yesterday morning, members of the Fairfield Fire Department and Caldwell Fire Department proudly displayed the American flag above the roadway in support of the Police Unity Tour.

Using both ladder trucks, crews assembled prior to the riders passing through town to honor the law enforcement officers who made the ultimate sacrifice and support those continuing the ride in their memory.

We thank all participating agencies and riders for their dedication and service.
