2024 Milwaukee Muster/Expo (more)

From Crabbymilton:

The 2024 Milwaukee Muster/Expo was a great turn out. Despite the small space, many MFD apparatus stopped by in addition to the vintage apparatus on static display. The MILWAUKEE FIRE BELL club did a great job hosting the event just as they did last year. They are great and decent people that deserve thanks for this.
