DAYTONA BEACH, FL - The Daytona Beach Fire Department recently assisted their neighboring Rowing Association with a "Blessing of the Fleet". This century-old tradition entails the fleet of new boats to row under an arch of water as they are used for the first time. Daytona Beach firefighters used their Quint to create a raised arch for the rowers as they passed under.
