1st Annual Firefighter Chili Cook-Off


Smiling from ear to ear is our 2009 Chili Cookoff Winner - Division Chief Curtis Johnson from Reno Fire Department.

Chief Johnson and his team had many people in tears with his Chili for two reasons  ♦ The sheer joy of enjoying a bowl of Chili on a cool Reno evening with friends and colleagues  -- and ♦ because of how spicy hot his winning creation was to the tastebuds. 

Thanks to all of the Chili Cookers and participants who helped us kick off our 1st Annual Chili Cook-off.

Antique Fire Display

We thank the Northern Nevada Firematics association for their generosity of showcasing a small collection of their antique engines and cars.  They were a stunning reminder of our fire roots as they were displayed around the perimeter of the show floow
