Why, do you ask, are you yelping a fire department, when you don't even live, or work in the town…read more Lemme tell you. I work for a moving company. We have over 35 drivers who have trucks all over the country. And for the past nine years, the drivers donate money annually towards a local non profit during the Holiday Season. Even during these difficult economic times, they dig deep into their pockets because they know that there are those that are less fortunate. They also know that the owner of our company, matches their donation. So for the past two years, we've been able to "gift" the Suisun City Fire Department with a 4 figure gift. We then get a shopping list from Joyce and the wonder folks at Code Three Fire & Safety in Suisun who coordinate the whole deal. The very best part? Following the brigade of firetrucks manned by those awesome firemen and the Big United Van Lines Truck and going out to Travis AFB to hand out gifts. I can honestly say that this is one of the most rewarding days of my life. To see the tears of joy and appreciation on the faces of the children and families as they see their wishes granted is something that everyone should get a chance to experience. I know alot of people aren't aware of the number of military families who live below the poverty level and are doing the best they can to make ends meet. So, hats off to the men and women of Suisun City Fire Department, the Fire Cadets/Volunteers, the great folks at Code Three Fire & Safety in Suisun, the Drivers at Chipman Relocation's and all the other businesses who get together and make this all possible.

A Bike! For me!

This after they had sent it to a collection agency and I had been forced to pay it. (See other Yelper who, like me, had received a collections notice WITHOUT a prior bill.) I received a bill two years ago, called Fire department billing office explaining ambulance had refused to take me to John Muir, (in our county and the only hospital on my insurance) and was assured it would be taken care of. Then suddenly a collections agency contacted me. But thankfully, we have Yelp where us patients can finally be heard. Thank you, Yelp! PS I will modify or remove my reviews WHEN the CCC Fire Department changes their unfair and illegal billing practices.

Meet the Grape Crusher…read more Many, many years ago, my Girl Scout troop helped at a family vineyard in Florida. Wow. That gave me a lot of respect for all of the labor that goes into harvesting and crushing grapes. The Grape Crusher pays homage to all those who labored to make Napa Valley what it is today. This monumental sculpture is visible from the highway, but you can exit to take a closer look. The vineyard worker wears a wide brimmed hat. He has both hands gripping the handle of the press and one foot braced against the basket. (We were also sweating, but that was because it reached 104 F on a very unseasonably hot day in October... so bonus...we had the park to ourselves.) Beautiful scenic views from the park. Free parking available with an easy inclined paved walkway to the statue. Worth a short stop for a quick photo op.
