MY NOTES
I hadn’t realized how long it had been since the 4th Battalion has made it on the show! It’s been over six months since Engine 35 has been featured! They now have unit numbers on the grill, which is pretty cool. Anyone catch the camera change style at the end? Aurora Avenue has had some downed cameras replaced, which are a new style. I think I prefer the old style, but the new higher saturation cameras capture flashing lights really well. Can’t wait to see more on them! YouTube says this is video number 200! Here’s to 200 more.
