Informal Gathering Wednesday Evening

To welcome our out of town guests an informal gathering has been planned Wednesday evening at Nancy Whiskey- 2644 Harrison Street, Detroit.

Fire apparatus are welcomed:

We are asking for fire apparatus be part of the funeral procession for SFF Kevin Ramsey.

Please have rigs in position by 10:00 am.

Rigs will stage on Woodward beginning at Glynn Court, facing south. The best route to the staging area is to take either I-75 (Chrysler Fwy.) or M-10 (John C. Lodge Fwy) to Davidson Fwy. exit Woodward Avenue and go south to Glenn Ct. (approximately 16 blocks). Personnel will be in the staging area to assist with the staging of rigs and staff vehicles. Detroit rigs will have priority staging.

The procession will head south on Woodward, going past the quarters of Squad 3 on the way to Elmwood Cemetery (1200 Elmwood Street, off Mt. Elliott).
