There are parades involving just a few emergency vehicles while there are ceremonies including the whole celebrations devoted to its community departments. Here are the top ten ceremonies we found in 2016 and early 2017.

Citizens and the police have to keep their distance in some communities. In Clawson, however, the emergency departments work together to enhance their connection and to unite the citizens. One approach to this is by the Fourth of July Parade every year. In this parade, first responders such as the police and firefighters take their vehicles and participate in this ceremony.

In particular, when this spectacular parade goes through the downtown, citizens cheer the equipment mounted on the vehicles. While those in or on the vehicles wave at the audience.

#10 Emergency Vehicle Parade by Seaside Heights and Pipe Band

Seaside Heights starts a parade of first responder vehicles every year on St. Patrick’s Day. The parade finishes with pipe bands.

Such a parade always works no matter how many times members of this community have seen it. Certainly, the water rescue vehicles and other emergency vehicles swarmed in the street comprise a scene that cannot be missed by tourists.
